HEAVY METAL- IV: Counter Electrode Iron Mono 2LP

Highly recommended.

Limited edition of 500 copies double vinyl housed in gatefold sleeve.

German punk provocateurs Robert Pawliczek (Diat, Itchy Bugger, Bobby Would) and Jasper Hood (Black Jaspers), are back with a brand new 2LP for Total Punk.

"Is HEAVY METAL heavy metal? Nope, but that’s old news. They’re not really punk either, except that they totally are. I don’t even want to ruin the breadth of surprises on this 2xLP vinyl pressing by describing the tracks. Spurts of perfect lo-fi garage punk meld into and stomp through dance pop, experimental electronic, post-punk, shambling C86 pop, and hip hop, all peppered with found-sound non-sequiturs. It shouldn’t work, but it flows so well, like a mixtape from a cultured and weird friend who gets to everything just a little sooner than you do. I was sold from the first ten seconds of the funky, BS2000-style drum break of opener “Savagely Beaten by Funk” and rewarded for the next hour. HEAVY METAL throws all popular music and sick modern culture into a blender, and we are fortunate to drink from its nectar. Get into it—Total Punk is only doing one pressing." - MRR
