Stinking Lizaveta
An odd name for an odd band, that's for sure.
This talented trio, consisting of two brothers on guitar and
upright bass alongside a female drummer who all have been
performing together since 1994, play what is probably best
described as a cross between metal, blues, and jazz.
But this is not a tech-y metal/fusion like others have
attemped -- rather, this is a
sort of loose, sweaty, smokey jazz that one might hear coming
from a dusky night club on a Saturday night, melded with
a hardened metal base.
The sound is sparse
(the guitars are not of the ultra-heavy, wall-of-sound type),
yet intricate at the same time, often
sounding improvisational even when they're not, with each
of the three proving quite adept at their craft.
There are no vocals here, but they aren't needed, as the songs
twist and turn to keep things interesting yet still sound like
complete, defined songs.
By many reports their live shows are the stuff of legend, and some
have said that that energy doesn't always translate to their
records, but listening to
Scream Of The Iron Iconoclast
(their fifth album, released in 2007), one can clearly see what
the fuss is about -- this is one of the most original bands
currently on the scene.
