GLUECIFER
Automatic
Thrill
SPV Records
One
of our favorite Scandinavian rock outfits returns
with magnificent opus having just completed a
European tour with Jersey stoners Monster Magnet.
Picking right up where last year’s Basement Apes
left off this Oslo, Norway quintet rip through
eleven highway cookers confirming their rightful
placement as one of the most heroic guitar-fueled
bands alive. Wasting no time they supercharge into
the album’s title track “Automatic Thrill”
capturing the perfect drum intro to carry us
through.
Chalk-full of densely laden guitars, bigger than
life choruses and Stooges/MC5 song-structure,
Gluecifer are content to borrow from the best in
slaughtering the masses. There is the Alice Cooper
tribute in “Put Me On A Plate” and the
Turbonegro-tainted “Here Come The Pigs”
currently featured on the band’s website. While
you’re there check out the very cool “A Call
From The Other Side” – an absolutely killer
song that has been all the rave long before this
CD saw US distribution.
When it comes to delivering open-chord riffs, this
band is one of the best. Check out “Take It”,
“Car Full Of Stash” (yes, it’s exactly what
you think it’s about) and the “Dingdong
Thing”. Don’t pass up “Shaking So Bad”
where drummer Danny Young and bassist Jon Average
meet headlong in frantic fusion. Guitarist’
Raido Useless and Captain Poon nail the muscle
while vocalist Biff Malibu has one of those voices
you could listen to all day.
