Time
for a bit of doom from down under. Zodiac's second demo starts of
with a characteristic slow intro before, about a minute into The
Noose, the most crushing and intense riff I've heard in a long time
reveals itself and hits you like a battering ram. Once you've
recovered from that, what awaits is three tracks of finest quality
doom metal. Which might not say that much, since it's a very wide
musical genre with many different approaches.
But to give you the
best idea of Zodiac, I'd say that it sounds very British. Bands like
Witchfinder General and The Lamp Of Thoth constantly comes to mind
while listening to this tape. Some hints of Saint Vitus can also be
found, and the final track Legacy reminds of more epic bands like
Candlemass and Solstice. The observant people have probably noticed
that I just mentioned five of the best bands of all time, so if that
doesn't make you want to check this band out, I don't know what will.
