| | Early Man Closing In CD Early Man Discography of CDs
 (3 Customer Reviews)
Early Man is a minimalist heavy metal duo (comprising drummer Adam Benatti and guitarist/singer Mike Conti) that worships at the altar of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and early Metallica. The sound is an undeniable throwback to the glory days of speed and doom metal, and Early Man does it right with righteous guitar riffs, pummeling drums, and wailing vocals. Interestingly, the face of metal has changed so much since its 1970s and '80s heyday that Early Man sounds sort of refreshing in the mid-2000s, offering up a wealth of sincere headbanging that is all the more appealing for its aspects of homage.
Early Man: Mike Conte (vocals, guitar); Adam Bennati (drums).

Closing In Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   KILLER debut
Now THIS is one stunning debut with precise and well written guitar riffs ripping through the time-honored halls of Sabbath, "Kill 'Em All" era Metallica, contemporary Exodus, early Angelwitch etc and the result is a simmering metalli-cauldron of "on the slab" power fuel that not even the Grim Reaper himself could exile to the depths of the netherworld. The vocals are a cross between Kevin Heybourne (early Angelwitch), Joe Elliot (Def Leppard but I refer ONLY to their first album) and well, okay I'll say it, OZZY. This musical blitzkrieg will rok yer brainz out my laddies and for all of those who are suicide inflicted and slit wrist impassioned, lap this death trip up and end it all now. This contains all of the angst, hopelessness, despair and attitude of a sunny day mass suicide and if you are one of the lost & forgotten "down & outters", you might find a glimmer of impending mortality here that is strangely uplifting.

 Keeping True Metal Alive!!
In a sad time where metal is just about yelling and one chord riffs,it is refreshing to hear a band keeping classic metal alive for the 00's and playing in the style of sabbath and priest.Pick the this up if you are sick of the same boring crap in music nowadays and rock out!

Sabbath meets COC
You'd swear it was Ozzy on the mic in half of the songs on "Closing In," and that isn't a bad thing. One of the best stoner rock releases in years. Think half Sabbath, half COC. All rock.

| | Grand Magus Wolf's Return CD (2005) (Import) Import; Japan
Closing In CD music
$14.45
In the 21st century, metal is full of bands that favor brutality for the sake of brutality -- bands that live for sensory assault and believe that bombast is its own reward. Such bands (which can be found in anything from death metal/black metal to metalcore to alternative metal) have their limitations, but they can be exhilarating if one has a taste for the extreme. Nonetheless, there's still something to be said for more melodic metal bands, and melody is a high priority on Grand Magus' second full-length album, Wolf's Return. This is the type of metal that values musicality, craftsmanship, and nuance as well as forcefulness; if the Swedes were deprived of their amps and forced to record a totally acoustic version of Wolf's Return, the material would still hold up. Of course, the fact that Grand Magus combine their melodic/harmonic sense with a lot of loud, amplified, balls-to-the-wall aggression is what makes them both headbangers and craftsmen -- and this time, they do it in a way that links doom metal/stoner rock with power metal. Grand Magus' first full-length album, Monument, and their self-titled debut EP of 2002 earned them a reputation for being a doom/stoner band; the doom/stoner element and the influence of Black Sabbath definitely ...
| | Cryptopsy Once Was Not CD (2005)
Closing In music CDs
$10.49
Cryptopsy's first studio album in five years, 2005's Once Was Not, is notable for reuniting main man and drum colossus Flo Mounier with original partner in crime and vocalist Lord Worm; in every other respect, it's pretty much a familiar exercise in the Canadian band's hyper-technical death metal. This, my friends, is a good thing. Not only because such a return to form will obvious thrill Cryptopsy's long-expectant original fanbase, but because, frankly, there's way too much melodic deathcore dominating the mid-2000s, and not enough worthy purveyors of complex, old-school brutality giving Nile and the also recently revived Suffocation a run for their money. This album does just that, and even though the musicianship involved is clearly as entertaining a factor in its discovery as anything else, the truly imaginative dynamic twists peppering most every track should not be overlooked. Among these, the most obvious examples include the unexpected snippets of first funky, then Spanish guitars inserted into "In the Kingdom Where Everything Dies, the Sky Is Mortal," the ...

This CD for me, is the fruit of a magical encounter and the realization of a dream. I always asked myself why Brasil has such little contact with other South American countries? This is a question that has intrigued me for the past 15 years. Little by little, by way of some projects and the work of a few people, this accomplishment became possible. My collaboration witht he Mercado Cultural de Bahia opened doors on a variety of fronts: through the materials that came in from several South American countries, whose quality really surprised us; though ...
