Cool…
When Diamondog is ripping it up Motorhead-style, “Kill Me” kills. When the band slows down — and it slows down quite a bit — the album becomes a bit of a lifeless affair.
The album blasts out of the gates with “Hurt,” which has a nice punky style, with a chugging riff and slithering lead guitar part, courtesy of Morten Husvik and Havard Traethaug. The song also gives Mikael Lillevold a chance to show off his pipes. Then, it’s off to another speedy rocker, “Kill Me,” with Frode Heistad’s bass pleasantly prevalent in the mix. So far, so good.
“Lost In Tranquility” is a nice Foo Fighters-type poppy track, with an easily-sung-along-with chorus and nice wah-wah guitar part. So far, so good.
