Our Take
Our Take
TAU CROSS' latest offering, "Pillar of Fire," is like a musical Frankenstein's monster that somehow manages to come alive and rock your socks off. This album is a melting pot of genres, blending punk, metal, and even a hint of folk to create a truly unique sound that will have you headbanging one minute and tapping your foot the next.
From the opening track "Raising Golem," you know you're in for a wild ride with TAU CROSS. The discordant guitars, thunderous drums, and gruff vocals combine to create a sound that is both aggressive and strangely melodic. It's like Motorhead meets The Pogues, and it shouldn't work, but somehow it does.
Tracks like "Bread and Circuses" and "Killing the King" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly transition between punk anthems and metal riffs without missing a beat. The lyrics are politically charged and full of righteous anger, reflecting the tumultuous times we live in.
But it's not all doom and gloom with TAU CROSS. Tracks like "Deep State" and "On the Water" inject a sense of hope and optimism into the mix, showing that even in the face of adversity, there is still room for rebellion and resistance.
Overall, "Pillar of Fire" is a triumph for TAU CROSS, showcasing their ability to push boundaries and defy genre conventions. It's an album that demands to be heard, and once you listen, you'll be hooked. So grab a pint, turn up the volume, and let TAU CROSS take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers!

About the artist
Tau Cross
Tau Cross is not your average metal band. Formed in 2013 by Amebix’s Rob "The Baron" Miller and Voivod’s Michel "Away" Langevin, this supergroup brings together a unique blend of crust punk and progressive metal that has captivated fans around the world. With Miller’s distinctive growls and poetic lyrics, Tau Cross explores themes of environmentalism, politics, and spirituality while delivering a sonic assault that is both aggressive and sophisticated. Langevin’s complex drum patterns and atmospheric soundscapes provide the perfect backdrop for Miller’s intense vocals, creating a sound that is both melodic and menacing. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2015, received critical acclaim for its raw energy and intelligent songwriting. Tracks like "Fire in the Sky" and "We Control the Fear" showcase Tau Cross’s ability to seamlessly blend crushing riffs with thought-provoking lyrics. Despite their impressive pedigree, Tau Cross is not content to rest on their laurels. Their 2017 album, "Pillar of Fire," saw the band pushing boundaries even further, experimenting with new sounds and incorporating elements of post-punk and gothic rock. Tau Cross is a band that defies easy categorization. Their music is hard-hitting and intense, but also deeply thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. With their blend of old-school punk ethos and forward-thinking musical experimentation, Tau Cross is a band that is truly in a league of their own.
