GRAVITAR - 'Gravitaaravitavitar' CD (Charnel Music)
(1995) Second album from this powerhouse trio sees them evolving well past their first release. Paradoxically, the results are both more intense and powerful, yet more accessible. The secret might be the use of crushingly hard post-rock grooves which can't be ignored. Truly a massive album, mixing guitar, drums and vocals into something that should probably be illegal. From the label of Mason Jones.
