Italy’s CARCHARODON has self-released “Macho Metal”, a rocking musical effort from a promising three member heavy metal outfit, mixing a thrashy death sound with a quirky Southern rock vibe. On the first track “Zombie Rodeo”, it’s definitive stoner metal meets New Orleans sludge – like if DOWN met up with EYEHATEGOD in a knife fight right behind the scene of a gig, and you can’t be mad at that kind of chaos. Next up, “Chromeland”, hints at a Zakk Wylde and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY influence, chugging away with vocalist Pico’s angry growling coming over the top. Track three’s “Behind The Sun” is more enraged and chaotic, filled with enough angst to fuel a dragster race car. The next set of ass kickers come in the form of “Squirtqueen”, and the bone gnawing “Mummified”. While this demo certainly lacks in having a big budget production value, I think it says a lot about a group of young musicians who are not scared to take risks and just do things in a quirky, experimental way. With a few more years under their belt, you’re going to see this band develop into something really special I believe.
