ASOMVEL

ASOMVEL - A Dream To Some...A Nightmare To Others
These guys calmly walk on, bludgeon your senses with a baseball bat and then retire to the bar, leaving you with what's left of your mind in a pool in your pants.
With Johnny A Carter (former axe-man with Pitchshifter) & Paul A Yeadon producing. ASOMVEL have recorded 5 new tracks for their "Full Moon Dog" demo. Let loose on God's clean earth in July '07..."If you can get your head around a band that sounds like early Motorhead thrashing with Orange Goblin, then you’ll have a grip on Brits ASOMVEL . The 'Full Moon Dog' five-tracker - it’s energetic and committed - and shows potential" - METAL HAMMER "Such is the catchy infectiousness and diversity within this CD, some of the old school may argue this is what Velvet Revolver should have sounded like, combining the best parts of Guns n' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots, along with the sleazy ethic and live deliverance of Motorhead." - HEADBANG
"Heavy Metal long ago developed into a musical element separate and independent from it’s roots in rock n’ roll. Most bands that try to meld the two back into one fail miserably, diluting the strengths of both, lacking in soul and sometimes sounding outright awkward. The gold standard has and always will be Motorhead.. In the days before heavy metal had fully asserted it’s independence, Motorhead infused metal’s fledgling elements into rock n’ roll with a power and force that was mighty and awe inspiring. The mixture was far more alchemy than science and far more cohesive than most attempts since. What does this all have to do with Asomvel? Well Asomvel belong among the chosen few that have succeeded in Lemmy’s wake. Asomvel bring the metal and the rock n’ roll with a vengeance and most importantly a cohesion and a sledgehammer heaviness. What might seem incongruent is embodied in one entity powerfully and unreservedly. This is the mafioso at confession, the religious terrorist at prayer.....well enough of my unwieldy attempt to describe the magic here, let’s just say that Asomvel really mean it and move onto specifics.....Opener “Feel The Chill” blasts out of the speakers with rugged melody and fist in your face aggression, snarling vocals, rolling and pounding drums and a raw but groove centered attack from the guitar and bass. It’s a mighty, mighty good thing we’re onto here. “Behind The 8 Ball” and “To Hell With All The Rest” continue the assault in similar fashion until “How The Mighty Fall” bludgeons it’s way in with the stomp and swagger of a marauding Viking in a coastal monastery. My favorite tune on this EP, “How The Mighty Fall” is a beast of brute heaviness and vicious hooks that imbeds itself in your cranium like a parasitic iron worm. Closer and title track “Full Moon Dog” sends it all off in style and leaves you wanting more.......a lot more (Bring on a debut full length!).There is not one dud moment on this ep. It grabs you by the throat and does not let go. As if the power of this ep weren’t enough, the live reviews (do a bit of searching on the internet) are siting a significant increase in power live (I’d kill to hear that!). So those of you across the pond get on it and go see them. For everyone period get on it and get over to their website, download their last demo for free (it’s be well worth paying for, but for free???!!! no excuse at all not to snap this up) there and then buy this!" - HELLRIDE MUSIC
"It's dirty rock n roll and I love it. This is the real deal, metal as it should be. Sounding like the bastard offspring of Motorhead mixed with a dose of NWOBHM." - CATBIRD, TOTALROCK
