The Angels' Share

release date: September 17th, 2015

Final Gate Records

This band says that they are interested in whisky and they want you to believe that all their lyrics are about whisky. Their vocalist is named Chicken. That’s right. The person that does the vocals, his name is Chicken. Pollo. Fried chicken: gebratenes Hühnchen. Their drummer is named Lemmi. Yes, Lemmi. Remember: whisky is important to this band.

They play uptempo and blasting extreme metal and apparently they have themselves a little bit of a guitar wizard in their midst. They blast a lot and come across as melodic blasting death metal, with guitar, guitar, guitar all over the place.

Some people may think that this band is a joke. Maybe the band thinks that they are funny. Maybe they are. Hey, their name sounds like Pig Latin, too. Funny guys, I tell you.

Whatever. I wonder if you will laugh when you hear the music, though. Sometimes bands like to disguise their music: what appears to be a silly band is a talented bunch of young musicians.

Ok, now in Pig Latin:

I-way ink-thay at-thay isteners-lay into-way ark-Day anquillity-Tray and-way elodic-may eath-day etal-may in-way eneral-gay ill-way enjoy-way is-thay and-bay.

What?

Exactly.
