Free Music Notes for Hesperus
Free Music Review: Rifftastic
Hit: 5 Stars
I did not expect this album to be nearly this good when I bought it on a lark from Hydra Head's website. I usually hate these kind of unfair comparison descriptions, but this one is so apt I can't pass it up: Quite simply, this album sounds like seven vintage Kyuss instrumentals. And this is not cheap imitation - Hesperus has its own sound, to be sure, but 5ive have channeled and distilled all the things that made those Kyuss jams so mindblowing, and boiled it down to two instruments. 5ive are the closest thing I have yet heard to a sonic successor to those almighty original stoner riff gods. True, 5ive is yet another hard rock duo, but these guys have apparently been around for a long time, bringing the experimental riff crunch as a two-piece long before having a minimalist live setup was en vogue, and well before epic post-metal earned a major audience. And, truth be told, it sounds like there are multiple guitars powering most of the music here; this is either some studio magic, an epic lesson in the effective use of tone for all rock guitarists, or, most likely, a bit of both. This is my first experience with 5ive but it won't be my last. Absolutely immense guitar sounds, spectacular riffs, great instrumental compositions, and thunderous drums. This is one of the best releases of 2008.
