Megasus - Megasus

Rating: 7

Fun facts about this band: all members are employed by Harmonix, makers of Rock Band and Guitar Hero (ironically, you can find Megasus on both); and drummer Brian Gibson is better known as Lightning Bolt’s bassist. How does all this translate? Well, these dudes have taken their skill on real instruments and penned some cutthroat and bristling doomy / stoner / sludge. There are moments of quirky, indie angularity (‘Swords’) that break up the monotony of re-jigged blues box riffs and Gibson is definitely not your standard metalhead tub thumper as his skittering style in ‘Paladin Vs. Berserker’ opens different rhythmic avenues for Megasus’ sound; avenues that staunch traditionalists and elitists would never want or hope for.
