Review – Christ Art Museum
“New Boy”
single on Phantom Records
Christ Art Museum, a four-piece hard rock
core outfit from Sydney’s North with a moniker that doesn’t give much away as far
as what they’re about. They have been with us for not a short while and the few
times the name has popped up the mystery remained – who are they? What do they
do? Where are they headed? Those of us on this side of the fence will have all
doubt removed by the new single “New Boy”on
Phantom Records.
Singles today tend to be a wide selection
from artists who might release one or two tracks of a different ilk and then
add a completely different remix for the helluvit. With a sound akin to Soundgarden
here, Horsehead there, a little Tool
and a touch of Koяn,
the seriously melancholic pace set by the three tracks on “New Boy” sets
answers all questions previously raised about CAM. With thanks to
support from the hip TV shows and doubtless addition to both the metal/rock
shows and the request programmes, more people will soon know the name and have
fewer questions about the band. The already-anticipated album will also garner
more support from record-buying and gig-going punters on the strength of this
release as well.

some serious shit (in the nicest possible way!) ««««
