And yet one more Fabio submission, this from 2012 from Super Snake........lots of good information attached to this one so I'll just turn it over to the author:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For their debut album Leap of Love, New Jersey hard rockers Super Snake have assembled a rhythmic ride that draws inspiration from many different genres. Super Snake are a talented group of musicians looking to incorporate several different facets of rock into one cohesive project. In Leap of Love, the band is certainly firing on all cylinders in their attempt to make an ambitious work of psychedelic rock.

The distorted beginning of the title track kicks off the album and everything from this point on becomes a twisted ride of passion. The crunch behind the rhythm guitars paired with Jerry Jones’ gruff vocals gives the track a grimy aesthetic, though the production remains impressive enough so that listeners can carefully make out every instrumental detail. The track eventually reaches an impressive breakdown which presents an even dirtier, sludgier style. The campier, darkly comedic elements might draw comparisons to the likes of Rob Zombie or Marilyn Manson, though the almost experimental breakdown is almost similar to the likes of progressive metal band Giant Squid. The second track “Lie4u” mixes in some blues to their psychedelic vibes which gives them a similar sound to Queens of the Stone Age. While listening, you feel as if you’re lost out in the desert and this album is the only thing available to quench your thirst. It’s a blistering song that is especially heightened by the incredible lead guitar work towards the very end. Track three “Hot Pavement” continues this sick, twisted ride through the sandy dunes and will leave you with the lingering taste of cactus. The high pitched guitars and thudding rhythm sections offer more Queens of the Stone Age comparisons, though Super Snake provide a dark yet slightly humorous tone to their sound that makes it unique in their own right.

Track four “Spirit Cave” is a slower track closer to the stoner metal genre. This track trudges along at its own pace, though it then develops into an explosion of sounds right around the 4:10 mark. The inclusion of keyboards into the already heavy sound alludes more to the previously mentioned Giant Squid comparison. The tracks “Sister Margaret” and Dreamcoated” will continue to satisfy fans of blues rock while still spitting enough venom to catch the attention of heavier music junkies. The latter track features especially solid percussion that builds up to a roaring climax. Track eleven “Big Seize” is definitely the most radio friendly moment on the project. It’s a shorter, more accessible song though it still carries that dirty sound that was present on the rest of the album and manages to summarize the band’s strengths in all of its four minutes. For those who are only looking for a taste of what Super Snake has to offer, this track is a good place to start.

Leap of Love is perfect for fans of gritty, almost creepy blues rock but the album has some notable setbacks. Clocking it at just over an hour, the album’s length might make listeners hesitant knowing that it will be a longer listen. The album occasionally feels its length, particularly on songs like “ Too Late, Who Cares” which tends to dwindle on for a bit too long without reaching a satisfying conclusion. On the other end of the spectrum, the track “Lavish Sum of Dread” has that good, grimy presentation though its shorter length actually holds it back from truly expanding on its sound and diving into the more experimental realms that most of the album tackles. Leap of Love can occasionally show moments of inconsistency due to some tracks needing to either be trimmed or extended based on what they already bring to the table. Some moments are solid, but too short in their runtime which could leave listeners wanting more. Other tracks are somewhat too long and spend slightly too much time progressing without much of a payoff. Despite these drawbacks though, this album definitely features more positives than negatives thanks to Super Snake’s contorted personalities and undeniably skilled musicianship.

Leap of Love is a fantastically performed psychedelic rock album that mixes in heavy elements of blues, stoner metal, and even occasional moments of more experimental rock. Right from the beginning, the album takes you on a gravelly trip and refuses to stop until you’ve experienced all of its catchy, adrenaline-inducing sounds. It’s equally parts speedy and sedated all in one. Many bands make attempts to combine a wide array of rock elements, though not all of them can pull it off as satisfying as Super Snake. Leap of Love is a boiling pot of toxin and caffeine, and listeners will be more than happy to indulge.

John N sent this one a while ago, took me a while to get to it, and I like it a lot, from Norway,
Beachheads are some very nice power pop stuff, I' d almost (ALMOST) call them something like a poor man's Len Price Three......that would be getting a bit carried away (LP3 are a huge fave of mine).....but this is damn good, every song here could be a radio-single I think, probably at the end of the day comparable to the Records or The Romantics, someone from that magical era of lost 70's power-pop, which is always welcome in 2017!

Long time friend Anonymous Max in the UK saw the Lowlife post (Fabio's) and remarked that they are
a fave of his, so he, (like John N, Jon S, zigzag, and Lewdd) seems to own every CD ever made, and submits the remainder of the discography! Cool coz I liked the original submission, so let's see what we think about the rest of the stuff!

here is his whole email:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know it's been ages, but thought I'd drop you a line, as you've done a small feature on Lowlife. I'm a massive fan of theirs and will always do anything to promote them. I've got a load of the early stuff on vinyl, and the last two albums on CD. I was subsequently really happy when I was able to download that early stuff, as my music was and still is stored away (I'd already ripped most of the CDs). Anyway, here you go with a whole load of Lowlife:

Rain EP-http://www53.zippyshare.com/v/5VtMbejD/file.html

San Antorium and Ramified from the Swirl It Swings EP are without a shadow of a doubt my favourites. Ramified was my introduction to the group, and I played it endlessly. San Antorium was a huge departure from where they'd been, and you can hear the difference in production, but I think it's fantastic. Anyway, hope you all enjoy these.

As with before, zippyshare can throw up a strange link at times. If that happens, cancel it and close it down straight away, and then retry.

Any probs, and I'll do my best to reupload.

≪ Previous: House of Love, Redux

If you are a fan of the Minnesota Vikings, and you should be, perhaps you remember offensive tackle
"Gary" ZIMMERMAN who, along with Randall McDaniel, comprised a Hall of Fame left side of the offensive line for most of the 90's......."Gary" ZIMMERMAN appeared on many football cards, and what we are going to do today is discuss years and locations for cards on which "Gary" ZIMMERMAN does NOT appear......for example, do you realize that NO card aof "Gary" ZIMMERMAN exists for:

Liverpool 5/14/66-I don't think he was born yet
Birmingham 5/12/66-nor yet
Leicester 5/15/66-nor yet

Sheffield 5/16/66-nor yet

I was told that the stats on the back of each "card" are nearly identical ato aeach other so we may not want them all, necessarilly, unless we are completists, you know, like collectors.

Soon i will present some MORE cards on which "Gary"
ZIMMERMAN did NOT appear!

I still have a handful of decoder rings left, only $249.95 plus $40 shipping.....what an Easter gift they would make!

≪ Previous: Decoder Rings! Free Gary ZIMMERMAN football cards!

Gotta come clean.....this is a band with which I do not have a great deal of familiarity.....I have thier whole discog (if you are a fan you'll be pleased with the amount I assure you) because a friend of mine loves them and I made the discog for him......likely, have listened to it twice......don't know why, could be the video-game tie-in thing (I HATE video games), or whatever, but I am bingeing the discs as we speak, and this is some very versatile, imaginative, and really impressive heavy metal.....it's sludgy sometimes, or crystal clear at others......a really varied attack, sludge, stoner, prog, and just good old heavy metal trash wind up here and there, and the albums are well though-out, lyrically sophisticated conceptual affairs for the most part. I have missed out on a good band, hope they don't mind "sharing" because I'm up for putting a lot of their stuff up for ya this week, hope the effort is worthwhile.

Mastadon are from Atlanta and consist of singer/drummer Brann Dailor, singer/guitarist Brent Hinds, singer/guitarist Bill Kelliher, and singer/bassist/keyboardist Troy Sanders.......on occasion they utilize guest vocalists, which is always a touch I find intersting.......lets start with album #1, 2002's "Remission".......I turned this one on and at once I knew this was a band I probably should have been down with.......somewhat annoying vocals at times, (I know some of ya LOVE vocal style, I don't)....but we have some awesome instrumentation (espcially like to point out the drumming).....very solid metal debut, "Where Strides the Beheamoth", a typically, wonderfully pretentious metal atitle, is my fave here, a speedy rant for sure, but there are plenty of goodies here, as long as this vocal style doesn't grate on you much.

I like "Leviathan" better, the vocals are better, and musically, still hard rocking and interesting......from what I read, lyrically inspired by Melville's "Moby Dick", would take more investigation to grasp that totally, I guess, but a good album, "Blood and Thunder", "Island" and "Aqua Dementia" stand out here, but hell, this is a solid as fuck, damn near 5-star effort.......they have a new fan!

"Blood Mountain" came along in 2006, really no new ground is broken, but in metal?.......well, they know their format and know it/utilize it well......more speedy metallic head slammers, "The Wolf Is Loose", "Circle of Cysquatch", and "Hunters of the Sky" stand out, but there is good stuff all over the place here for head banging junkies.

In 2009 they released "Crack the Skye".....it features cleaner vocals (we cana rgue over whether that is an improvement, my vote is yes), and is perhaps a bit more ambitious, daring.......what?, "Oblivion" sounds almost grungy (Cool song), the epic "The Czar" is about 11 minutes of the kind of stuff we expect from most of our rivitheds, but, seriously, these boys do it well.......4/4 now for good solid albums released.

Well, what brought this up to begin with is Fabio sent a few singles, I assume from their upcoming release......I'm sure when it comes out, someone will slip it this way, but I am enjoying the fuck out of these albums tonight. The next album was 2011's "The Hunter", a good one as well, "Curl of the Burl" rocks to the bones, as does "All the Heavy Lifting", all in all another good album.

Finally for tonight, 2014's "Once More Round the Sun", more of that same unique blend of
style/sound.....metal is rarely called "unique" and for good reason, but these have a distinctive, and as I said before, quite intellectual sound dand feel to them........verdict: I REALLY like them!

I'm sure if you are a fan you have all these, but to me it's like a new
discovery.....And, for you dedicated fans, this will probably go three parts as I have a bunch of live stuff, EP's, all that good stuff. I REALLY do like these albums, and impressed very much with how the band adapted to changes in musical trends without compromise........good, hard/heavy and INELLIGENT rock is sometimes hard to come by, here are five slabs of it here.
