A Jam Band from the Depths of Hell

"Of course, the Boredoms aren't a jam band. They are noise punk band that evolved into a full fledge cult of THE ROCK, dedicated to achieving harmonic convergence through heavily flanged guitars. Mainly because the alternative, prayer, is boring.
Vision Creation Newsun is what you listen to before any thorny task. It vibrates your flaccid mind into full gleaming steel. It's joyous, but scary Apollonian joy, the kind where you enter a trance and rip a goat appart with your bare hands, then come down to mundane domains of conscience only to find yourself standing in line at Safeway with a tub of Redvines at 2:00 am, covered in goat . So, if your uncomfortable with Altered States-like evolutionary transformation, stick with your Mudvayne."

"What came before it is not important when judging this release.What it might be accused of borrowing from is greatly expanded on.What might of inspired it is certainly celebrated.
This album is a religious experience. Either you practice at this temple or you don't. Make no mistakes...this music is divine to many.
P.S.If you are trying these guys out for the first time(and are not the "avant-tarde" type)expect to hear a new take on what makes "a song"."
