Album Review
Bigelf - Cheat The GallowsBigelf - Cheat The Gallows

Bigelf are a circus influenced metal band.

The album opener, Gravest show on earth, reminds me of a metal esque inspired version of the Beatles song Sergent peppers lonely hearts club band off the album of the same name, its a bit overblown but its a really good track. The album remind me again of the Beatles in there later stage of there career if the continued into the seventies, with some Pink Floyd and Trex thrown in there for good measure, its all a very excessive throwback to the 70s, im a fan to say the least, i think a vinyl version would slot well into my record collection. This album seems to have been constructed from the best bits of the 70s, some great classic rock guitar playing, with some keyboards in there, great drumming, its all very big, it even has the right sound to it, it really could have come straight out of the 70s. Stand out tracks include the opener,Gravest show on earth, Blackball, both are lengthy tracks, but you don't tire of them. In opinion there isnt a bad track on the album, it just oozes awesomeness, Money is pure evil, could have been released by black sabbath, you can pick any track and probably pick out the band that has influenced it.

Cheat The Gallows is out on the 7th of September.

5/5
