Munster
Records is proud to release the new album by MERMAID,
one of the toughest and more proffesional ROCK (capital letters
please!) bands in Spain. They are no newcomers, they have already
proved who they are and with this new record Munster will try to
make them known in all Europe.
We believe they deserve it.
Their first album was the self-released "From Here
to Nowhere", which surprised everyone. Then the follow
up "High Dimension is the Direction"
was released by Safety Pin Records in 2000 and was voted second
best album of 2000 in Spain. With it they were considered the most
promising band in the country, and they started playing big festivals
and opening the spanish shows of bands like QUEENS OF THE STONE
AGE, ZEN GUERRILLA, GLUECIFER, MAN OR ASTROMAN?, etc.
And now here it is, their third album "RED LED OR DEATH",
their best to date, with shorter songs with a hard-rock flavour,
without forgetting their ROLLING STONES, LED ZEPPELIN, DEEP PURPLE,
JIMI HENDRIX, or BLACK SABBATH, etc. influences. They are not your
tipical STONER band. They mix the density of the heavy guitars and
slow-mid tempos with some faster beats which will appeal both the
KYUSS, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, FU MANCHU, the punkier side of the
Scandinavian hordes of HELLACOPTERS; MARYSLIM, TURBONEGRO and GLUECIFER,
and the heavier riffs of the classic hard rock pioneers BLUE CHEER
and such. Altogether in the very special MERMAID recipe. RED LED
OR DEATH! |
