In a new Smoke Blow-plate you never know exactly what you get. Was "German Angst" (2003) a filthy mix of Rotzrock and Hardcore, followed with "Dark Angel" (2005) a more melodic, subdued by Horrorpunk sounding album, and finally came 2008 "Colossus", which ironed directly for SB ratios sounded , In her early works, the troops had also increased Stoner influences on board. Now we have 2010 and Smoke Blow leave "The Record" in the world going on. Those who thought to use the trend, more melody and less hardship, would be continued, will be surprised, because the opposite is the case. This is the heaviest album to date of Kiel, even thrash and death metal influences are incorporated in the punk skeleton. The skin an auditory neat one in the face, but at the expense of accessibility. Mitgrölrefrains are nowhere, but is dominated by evil, discordant riffs is happening. Jack also LETTENS Clean vocals are only rudimentary, primarily is gekeift and yelling here, there's no tomorrow. The bonus disc of the limited edition is the way a remastered edition of "Altamont Speedway Massacre" EP, which is already incorporated in the late 90 and is otherwise sold out long ago. Here are said Stoner sounds still clearly present. Ultimately it is a matter of taste whether one now the harder or the more melodic Smoke Blow liked better. Fun "The Record" all, but my two favorites are still "German Angst" and "Dark Angel". We must now be interesting to see how the next album will sound like.
