Thrall Discography of CDs

Thrall discography Glenn Hughes is the former bassist of Deep Purple and Pat Artist was voted Best New Talent of 1980 by Guitar Player Magazine. The fruit of a one-off collaboration between ex-Deep Purple bassist/singer Glenn Hughes and journeyman guitarist Pat Artist, Hughes/Artist is full of the energy of early-'80s rock. With lyrics like "You got the power/Turn on the light" sung in best Ian Gillan fashion and buoyed by relentless grooves...

Thrall music CDs Artist is both a direct continuation of the God Bullies (former home to front man Mike Hard) and of Detroit all-female alternative rock act Inside Out (supplying bassist Karen Neal). However, for me, this seems the crystallization of the God Bullies' vision presented in Mamawombwomb. Never quite fulfilled from God Bullies later releases, this apocalyptic vision captured in the raw by production on eight track technology returns in spirit...

Thrall discography In the vortex of a Bushcroft future, there's simply not enough crude, dark post-punk apocalyptic noise in the world. Re-enter Artist, back on Alternative Tentacles for their third full-length cauldron of bedlam from the other side of the Masonic Lodge door. 2003. The third album by Detroit's Artist sounds like some kind of cross between the Jesus Lizard (the abrasive, Big Black-derived guitar sound), any European death metal band (singer...

Thrall music CDs Glenn Hughes is the former bassist of Deep Purple and Pat Artist was voted Best New Talent of 1980 by Guitar Player Magazine. The fruit of a one-off collaboration between ex-Deep Purple bassist/singer Glenn Hughes and journeyman guitarist Pat Artist, Hughes/Artist is full of the energy of early-'80s rock. With lyrics like "You got the power/Turn on the light" sung in best Ian Gillan fashion and buoyed by relentless grooves and Artist's virtuosic guitar, this album is an overlooked gem. Artist's use of the guitar synthesizer is very interesting. Throughout the album, he combines the muscle of hard rock with the textures of post-punk and new wave, as if Andy Summers were sitting around jamming with Eddie Van Halen. Take, for example, "Beg, Borrow or Steal." The verse is pure new wave, with its straight-eighth synth chords, but it soon gives way to the sleazy rock of the chorus. Much of this sound may in fact trace its origin to Queen and Rush, but listening to Hughes/Artist in its historical context places it firmly in the same territory in which Billy Idol was to have so much success. The performances by the two leaders are fantastic. Hughes' voice and bass playing are in fine form, and Artist exhibits a healthy dose of Allan Holdsworth in his playing. The mix, handled by none other than Andy...
