Psycho-Path
Psycho-Path
the ass-soul of psycho-path - cd
moonlee
I don't get the point about the fifths album of this Slovenia based band. The flashy artwork shows a nude and handcuffed woman with a knife stuck in her ass and laying in a puddle of blood. I wouldn't call myself pc or whatever but this is definitely too much. Surely the artwork attracts attention even though it's not shocking like punkrock was at the end of the 70ies. There is so much obscene violence on screens that this artwork only remains to be distasteful. Why do a female fronted band represents itself by such a picture? The abscence of printed lyrics in the artwork or the enclosed promo sheet don't remedate my perplexity.

Psycho-Path deliver some average alternative rock tunes fronted by a charismatic, harsh female singer. Imagine a mix of Girls Against Boys, Sonic Youth, Queens Of The Stone Age and the Cranberries. This is solid work whereas there were better bands playing this style of music some time ago. Seems a bit like eastern European artists still remain excluded by the movements of the international music scene. Regarding the artwork and the musical averageness I doubt this release will ever find its way to my CD player again. [benni]
