Free Music Notes for La Sexorcisto-Devil Music Vol. 1

Free Music Review: Some surprisingly good riffage here.
Hit: 5 Stars

I have heard a lot of heavy metal, and it amazes me how much satisfaction I get from the guitar playing on this album. Okay, I'll whip out the cliche: "this album is loaded with crunchy riffs," virtually from beginning to end. There are plenty of hooks here that will strike a satisfyingly familiar chord (like a really good hamburger) to anyone who has listened to a lot of heavy metal, yet a skillful avoidance of worn out cliches and a good variety of tempos. If you approach this album as legitimately good metal, from an instrumental standpoint, that doesn't take itself too seriously, you can't help but enjoy it. As much metal as I have listened to, and enjoyed, I sometimes get tired of all of the macho posturing and furrowed-eyebrow foreboding of the often ridiculously counter-everything genre, and this album makes some good crunchy "ear candy," with a kick. With Zombie's ability to growl, and his horror movie mentality, I wish he would do an album that's kind of a spoof of Death and/or Black Metal; I think he could pull this off brilliantly.

There seems to be a difference of opiinion as to whether this or "Astro Creep 2000" is the better album. All I can tell you is that I like "Sexorcisto" better, and my fiancee likes "Astro Creep" better. You'll probably want to get them both but, if you're approaching this mainly as a metal fan who's open to something outside of the usual fist-clenching "angry young white man" shtick, you may want to start with "Sexorcisto." By the way, this has become one of my favorite "driving around with the windows down" albums. Anyone who says they like metal who doesn't like this album is just TOO damn cranky.
