 (2 Customer Reviews)
Issued in 2007, CRUEL MELODY is the debut by Black Light Burns, a group helmed by former Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, who also takes up vocal duties in the band. More straight-forward than his experimental projects Big Dumb Face and Eat the Day, Black Light Burns is rooted in goth-tinged heavy rock, as best revealed on the hard-charging opener, "Mesopotamia," and the Nine Inch Nails-like industrial number "Lie." In addition to Borland, CRUEL MELODY features performances by NIN contributors Danny Lohner, Josh Freese, and Charlie Clouser, giving Black Light Burns significant crossover appeal with the renowned Trent Reznor-fronted ensemble.
Black Light Burns: Nick Annis (guitar); Josh Eustice (synthesizer); Sean Fetterman, Danny Lohner, Wes Borland (bass guitar); Josh Freese, Marshall Kilpatric (drums).
Additional personnel: Johnette Napolitano, Sonny Moore, Carina Round (vocals); Eric Gorfain, Daphne Chen (violin); Leah Katz (viola); Mathew Cooker, Richard Dodd, John Krovoza (cello); Section Quartet (strings); Sam Rivers (bass guitar); Charlie Clouser (programming).
Alternative Press (p.172) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "CRUEL MELODY is still interesting, ambient and, much like its creators, unforgettable."
Kerrang (Magazine) (p.47) - "[The album] sports a confident, catchy gothic alt-rock sound, and Borland stepping up to the mic with an impressively suave vocal performance."

Cruel Melody Music Review Purchase Cruel Melody CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Morbid Angel Covenant CD (1993)
Cruel Melody
 $8.69    
Covenant started to bring Morbid Angel up out of the underground, as MTV gave them wider exposure on its late Headbanger's Ball. Guitarist Trey Azagthoth plays complicated, heavily detuned riffs, some with a lightning-fast picking style and others in a slower groove. Drummer Pete Sandoval is one of the genre's fastest, and his jackhammer style helps complete Morbid Angel's core sound. Their incredible chops and nonstop intensity may be exactly what you've been looking for, or you may find the lack of ...

| | Bright Bliss Out, Vol. 12: Blue Christian CD (1999)
Cruel Melody
$11.65
Part of Darla's continuing Bliss Out series, Blue Christian is as perfect a contribution to that project as any, given Bright's own obvious tendency to kick out the space rock jams. LaBrecque and Dwinell essentially keep on keeping on here, with a variety of home recordings that hold together rather well as a complete album. The majority of the album's tracks are more interesting if not exactly groundbreaking zone-outs that are impressive both for their lushness -- the "four-track machine = lo-fi" canard is thoroughly trashed here -- and for the overall sense of atmosphere created. "Fuller" opens things well by taking a variety of obvious elements -- loops of backward-run guitar lines and tapes, mainly -- then mixing and assembling them to create an ominous flow not that far off from Main's sense of destructive creepout. When LaBrecque adds his drums, that sense isn't lost so much as altered, making a good combination of head-nodding groove and spine-chilling doom. Interesting variety crops up on the title track, where skronking sax and LaBrecque's drumming add a touch of free jazz/noise to the general feedback wash and drone. Lighter sax crops up deeper in the mix on "Europa," a longer and far calmer number all around with some wheezing accordion pieces from Dwinell nicely woven through the song as well. The album's centerpiece, "Trip to the Sound-Alike Finals" and "Tapping," blends together as one long piece. The guitar work throughout is especially impressive, notes ringing through deep reverb and echo like massive bells. For sheer intensity, meanwhile, the massive build and sheer rock-out crunch on "Grand Mal" is stunning, a short but powerful piece that favorably equals the likes of Can at their most extreme. "Not This Not That" ends things on a nicely surprising note, being an acoustic piece with vocals by Dwinell. ...

| | Endless Highway: The Music Of The Band CD (2007)
Cruel Melody
$14.65
Though on an album with a cast list this big there are bound to be missteps (Gomez's fey, Brit-accented version of "Up on Cripple Creek" falls quite a few gin-and-tonics short of the hairy, moonshine-guzzling mountain-man feel of the original), the good points--such as Death Cab For Cutie's "Rocking Chair," which sounds tailor-made for Ben Gibbard's reedy, unusual voice--far outweigh the bad.
Much of this Band tribute compilation is surprisingly good, from Guster's Byrds-tinged "This Wheel's on Fire" to Widespread Panic's energetic recreation of "Chest Fever." Jakob Dylan conjures memories of Richard Manuel on a visceral rendition of "Whispering Pines," and Roseanne Cash's "Unfaithful Servant" focuses on that song's sense of disbelieving betrayal, while old stagers like Blues Traveler and the Allman Brothers contribute loose yet reliable versions of "Rag Mama Rag" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," respectively.
