Mustasch - Mustasch

The album is as catchy as it is heavy...

Rating: 8The latest, self-titled release from Sweden’s answer to Metallica delivers a fresh batch of enormous, riff-laden, hard rock ‘n’ roll. With shout-along choruses aplenty, the album is as catchy as it is heavy, and tracks such as ‘Mine’ and ‘The Man, The Myth, The Wreck’ will no doubt put any metal fan in danger of developing some serious neck ache. Everything present here – from the “HEY!”-heavy vocals throughout to the S&M-esque closer ‘Tritonus’ – reeks of Hetfield and the gang, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as Mustasch do it damn well. Hard rock enthusiasts must-dash (oh dear) out and purchase this record.

For fans of: Metallica, Clutch
