Zonderhoof is a riff monster!

Zonderhoof is an instrumental, aggressive and very loud band for sure. Rooted in hard rock, hardcore punk and metal with inspiration from also movie soundtracks, sound effects and electronic music, they bring us their debut. Being forced to listen to Zonderhoof for over half an hour is no punishment at all.

Heavily inspired by Keelhaul, Neurosis, Khanate, Mastodon and The Melvins, they befall you with four megaton heavy songs. Considering they are just together for eighteen months is mind blowing! They figured out quite soon that the power of the song lays in the riff structure and not so much in the details. Zonderhoof is a riff monster! Dark, heavy as hell, simple but complex in play. Strange detail is that there must be a Dutch connection here in this Wales based band. This CD is a danger to all hedgehogs on the road, since this music makes your tires burn!

Erik stigmatizes this release with: 82/100 (Clearly above average, you should check this one out.)
