Ok then, one more slab of brutal aggression and adrenaline before I leave the heavy guitars behind for today.  This time we're in Switzerland with power mongers Colossus Fall.  If you're into acts like Converge, Isis, Keelhaul, Calibre, Hatebreed and Mastodon, be sure to check it out.  If you're not, my work is done here.  Oh, how easy can the life of a music reviewer be, right?  Well, sometimes, but in some cases things get a little more complex.

Because yes, Colossus Fall seems to be influenced by the bands I mentioned in the previous paragraph but we're definitely not done here.  Vocals and some of the riffs remind me of death metal acts like Gorefest.  Yet, there's also a massive hardcore influence present and we shouldn't forget about the whole post-metal and sludge craze.  There's just so much going on that it's not easy to grab this. 

The songs are quite short, something which in this case translates into sheer intensity.  Yet, even then Colossus Fall manages to make complex tracks, a bit like (and here's yet another genre) mathcore bands have been doing in the past few years.  At point, the level of experiment and complexity goes so far that I suddenly invented the term 'sludge-jazz'.  But don't let that scare you, you can still bang your head into a bleeding pulp.

Ok, one more genre.  There's blast beats present at some point.  So, black metal? Sure, why not.  Hell, even Meshuggah comes to mind and nobody knows what kind of metal that is exactly.  So let's just say that we're dealing with a kick in the balls with boots with spikes as large as some Swiss mountain tops.  There you go, you have been warned...
