Album Review
Klay - Maps of RebellionKlay - Maps of Rebellion

Klay, Maps of Rebellion,is a release on the LockJaw records label. This 5 Piece band are from the UK.

The opening track is a mix of noisy chaos and melodic sounds, with heavy guitars and a cello providing the contrast of the opening song, i certainly prefere the quiter moments as its just simply nicer to listen to. The album at times changes its identity from track to track, refusing to be pigeon holed, sounding at times like Biffy Clyro of at others like at the drive in, then maybe like 30 seconds to mars. It will defiantly appeal to a wide range of rock audience. The structure of the songs is fairly straight forward, but the way its sounds is fairly decent if not that original, but has its epic moments through out the album while at times being just of kilter, but again its a good listen.This album would be good without the vocals in it, just as an instrumental album it could stand on its own without the vocal track, this album has had a fair bit of thought going into the writing of the tracks. You Can Imagine how it would be played live, with tons of energy boarding on the verge of chaos. I don't think that there is a filler track in the album, its just really good all the way through, it has its full of piques and troughs, giving it a good musical landscape that should sound great live.

Klay, Maps of Rebellion will be released on June 22nd 2009 on Lockjaw Records.

4/5
