Our Take
Our Take
Wizard Rifle’s self-titled album is a swirling vortex of psychedelic noise that grabs you by the ears and drags you into a wild rollercoaster ride of sonic mayhem. The Portland duo, clad in their trademark wizard hats, unleash a barrage of blistering riffs and frenetic drums that leave you gasping for breath.
From the opening track “Rocket to Hell” to the mind-bending “Funeral of the Sun,” Wizard Rifle take no prisoners as they explore the outer reaches of the musical universe. Guitarist-vocalist Max Dameron shreds like a madman, while drummer-vocalist Sam Ford hammers away with a ferocity unmatched in the world of heavy music.
But it’s not all about speed and aggression. Tracks like “Caveman Waltz” and “Crystal Witch” showcase the band’s ability to weave intricate melodies and haunting vocal harmonies into their chaotic sonic tapestry. It’s a delicate balance that Wizard Rifle pull off with aplomb, keeping the listener on their toes throughout the album’s duration.
In a world where conformity reigns supreme, Wizard Rifle stand out like a pair of neon pink socks at a funeral. Their unapologetically weird and wonderful approach to music is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale and predictable music industry. So strap in, hold on tight, and prepare to be blown away by the sheer wizardry of Wizard Rifle. Verdict: 8.5/10.
