ZEN GUERRILLA Trance States in Tongues

This record does not compromise. The incendiary boogie of 'Pins And Needles' is propelled on a brutal guitar a'la Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top). 'Slow Motion Rewind' displays a shrieking riff and dives into a rock and roll worth of early Led Zeppelin. Speed and craziness increase in 'Mod Riot', which brings back to memory the Surgery's demonic excesses. Ever more restless and noisy, the Zen Guerrilla accelerate to 'What I Got' and 'Heart Attack', reckless blues songs that shake the foundations of the genre, and the sacrilege peaks with 'Preacher's Promise', an epileptic gospel for psycho-preacher. The voodoo blues 'Magpie' and a couple of relaxed ballads reduce the impact of another album, which would compliment the flip side of a Jon Spencer Tape.
