This is real underrated band.... These are the first words that passes in my mind when I think 'bout Slough Feg and Mike Scalzi. But that's it, so anyway let's talk about this new album The Animal Spirits and his hard work to follow their masterpiece Ape Uprising....
Also this time the mixture of folk / traditional American metal of this Frisco quartet just reach high levels in music and lyrics, they don't care about modern sound or any bulls**t and they follow their hard road, the road of passion and 'to-go-against-every-rule',and personally I like this attitude.
The Animal Spirits opener is Trick The Vicar, a less than 2 minutes song, a crash to our ears!!! Most of the actual bands need this time for a senseless intro, and Slough Feg kill our ears. The 95 Thesis is the return of their classic style, with huge Thin Lizzy influences!! Materia Prima is the second surprise of this album, an instrumental track with tons of feeling and great Maiden echoes.... Excellent job guys!! Free Market Barbarian show once again a great job in a short track, Lycanthropic Fantasies is longer and give us traces of their epic old school sound.
Ask The Casket is another classic folk / metal hymn for this band,and so is the follower Heavyworlder. The Tell-Tale Heart is more dynamic and doomy in the central break, so '70's oriented.... Kon-Tiki give us back the classic sound of Slough Feg, and Second Coming is simply a semi acoustic hymn for a sword battle. Tactical Air-War close in a fast way this album, another good album that this time should be hear by more people. So I hope that you people open your eyes and your wallets to support this American combo!!!
