AYTOBACH KREISOR
self-titled (Rubric Records)
Reviewed by Holly Day

Unfortunately, this album sounds just like it looks - the jacket's decorated with pictures of greasy-looking guys rockin' out in front of a wall covered with graffiti, as well as quasi-psychedelic photos of trees. The music's just as "good" - monotonous metal riffs punctuated by predictable drumming, bass solos, and lyrics about death and suicide and thinly-veiled references to psychotropic drugs. Really pretty dull mellow sort of stuff, like some of the music that came out at the tail end of the grunge movement when everyone in the world had mastered the formula.
