Godswounds: Death to the Babyboomers (Sonichimaera, 5/20/14)
A heart-racing synthesis of heavy metal, horns, and videogame scores, Godswounds’ debut album is half psychedelic trip, half nutty science experiment gone right. It’s an electrifying collaboration between the Australia-native band—whose members include Lachlan Kerr and former Mr. Bungle drummer Danny Heifetz—and guest artists like Big Business, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Marriages, and (the) Melvins.
The result is a playfully dramatic fusion of styles and sounds—one that pulses with melody and drama without letting gimmicks hold it down. Listen to the album in its entirety below.
