Albums RESIN

Press Reviews CD REVIEW RESIN The full length CD Resin begins with an appropriate introduction to the primal energy evident throughout this recording. Vocalist Matt Bryant's creative phrasing seems to inspire the bands powerful edge in "Brainstorm". However, it is Rory Crott's blistering guitar solos that truly prove to be the ultimate weapon of Spiral Maddness. Bryant sings "Sueeeee", and Spiral Maddness responds with a funkified rhythm, punctuated with tight rapid-fire patterns on "Pig". I like the way the guitar and vocal dialog play with one another on the third cut titled "Un". Crott's guitar work is best when he pushes the envelope, forcing the band to follow close with punctuated accents and drum fills. Three minutes into the song, I thought I felt a change in the rhythm, as Bryant's vocals sliced against the music's grain. But the band cohesively turned on a dime, then changed gear, propelling the song into a more powerful rhythm than before. It made me realize, they knew exactly what they were doing, and where they were going all the time. Very tight! The fourth cut was "1 - 2 - 3". Rory Crott drifted effortlessly, playing both rhythm and lead guitar roles, sending this song through a series of musical changes. "Summertime Brik" is a showcase for outstanding guitar effects, as tempo alterations take Spiral Maddness into an interesting direction. "Corkscrew" follows with imaginative playing, unexpected stops, a well-rehearsed rhythm section, and burning guitar licks making this one of my favorite cuts on the album. An aural freight train of power is felt in "Freezer Burn", featuring the rapid-fire lyrics of Matt Bryant. If this much energy is captured by Spiral Maddness in a studio recording, I can’t imagine their power-potential in a live performance. A change of pace is felt as the band begins Resin's final selection, but hold on, because "Flourine" takes you on a 7 minute 20 second musical journey fueled by the power trio behind the vocalist. While listening to the CD, I actually found myself getting lost in the cover and the creative artistry of the album’s artwork. I wish they included the lyrics to the songs in the liner notes, because I couldn't catch all the words to the songs. I hope Spiral Maddness will be kind enough to post the lyrics on their web site. Resin by Spiral Maddness is a welcome addition to my musical library.

Brainstorm, 2. Pig, 3. Un, 4. 1-2-3, 5. Summertime Brik, 6. Corkscrew, 7. Freezer Burn, 8. Flourine Spiral Maddness is a Funky and Heavy Grunge Rock band from California, USA. The band started in April of 1994. Besides a 5 song demo CD in 1996 this is their debut album. "Resin" was originally released in 1999 and now it has been re-mixed and re-released. Their influences are Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Tool, Primus, Fugazi, Blind Melon, Nirvana, Radiohead, Alice In Chains, Rage Against The Machine, Cream and Jane's Addiction. Especially the Black Sabbath, Nirvana and Alice In Chains influences are very obvious in their music, but both Nirvana and Alice In Chains have much better melodies and their choruses are more memorable than Spiral Maddness. Some of the songs are rather good though, but at a whole it isn't much here that grabs your attention. The bass player Shawn Stump and the drummer Kevin Stump have been replaced since this CD was recorded. Tony Sambrano has replaced Shawn on bass and John Betts has replaced Kevin on drums. Spiral Maddness is currently writing new material for a new album in the future. If you're into bands like Nirvana and Alice in Chains this could might interest you, but otherwise you might stay away. -Reviewed by Greger Rönnqvist-
