Alchymist - Acid Scar (review by Pete)
I was very impressed with the package I got from Alchymist - they included two live videos, an animated video, pics, and a biography on one cdr. It's great to see a band that's all about self-promotion, which in this business is as vital as learning how to play your instruments. The production on the three song demo is very good, and is a compliment to their sound. I've seen them live a few times here in Illinois, and they can all play like real metal musicians should.
The vocal style of singer Judy (yes, it's a guy) is very unique, as he blends some deep gutteral growls with melodic mid-range vocals . . . . not at all like the whining nu-metal rage. He even throws in some high-pitched harmonies, along the lines of classic old Mercyful Fate. It's one of those, love it or hate it styles that makes the band stand out. Dennis provides some nice guitar work, while Darren and Robert lay down the rhythm section in true old school fashion.
Some good grooves and precise changes, make this one hell of a demo. Check these guys from Champaign Illinois out and take a trip back to some good old school metal.
