Psychostick-IV: Revenge of The Vengeance

Track 1. Revenge of the Vengeance- A comedy stricken male voice provides a kick ass lead in for the album. With plenty of cool side affect added in. It's loaded with hilarious and awesome things all around, if this is a sign of things to come with how awesome this album could be then holy shit!

Track 2. Obey the Beard- You step in it, right away. A sense of fun yet crazed filled music enters your mind. Dark yet well crunching riffs with a very tight sound. Heavy as fuck. Interesting yet hilarious lyrical subject matter. Even though it's comedy metal, it's pretty damn entertaining. Cool riffs, and strong as well as powerful beats thrown about. Guitar riffs hook around pretty well, tasty bass lines are thrown about with careful detail. The song even finds a way to make fun of its self. Even when they 'attempt' to be serious, and they tend up being more funny and entertaining they just flat out kick ass! Love it!

Track 3. President Rhino- Gee this is not at all political, seems funny even though it is. Quite sick at some parts. Another through ride of metal and laughs that's for sure. I love the sound affects thrown in there with the actual rhino, or is that just somebody in the studio fucking around? It's not easy attempting to contain my laughter! A very interesting track. Had some much darker riffs, had a nice crisp beat to it as well.

Track 4. H- Flat- A very short but hilarious track that provides INSANE self reflection, LOVE IT. Even though it's not actually a song.

Track 5. So Heavy- A thick, and chunky riff blasts open this bastard wide! They even bring along the roaring vocals for the ride. I totally dig how they constantly make fun of themselves. The song itself has a kick ass feel all around. I have a feeling they are making fun of Death Metal here, good shit none the less. The cookie line is fucking killer! Are they roaring or burping? Amazing shit here! If only writing a song were as easy as the way these guys make it out to be. They have an intense and unique creativity, as well as a thorough and exciting sense of humor! Even though its comedy/metal, it's pretty damn good.

Track 6. Dogs like Socks- A very tight intro, movies quite fast. Seems to be quite crazy sounding at times, more very well enunciated vocals with guitars. Genius lyrical subject matter though its simple and insane. Quite fucked up, but I like it!

Track 7. Super Legit OFFICIAL Teaser # 2 Explode- Another spoken word vocalist. Explicit speaking here. Hilarious though! Love it, absolutely! So funny I had to listen to it a second time!

Track 8. Quack Kills- There's an invasion of some kick ass metal here. A bass line dances around openly and with a deadly slither of low end that's ready to snap. I really like the vocal quality here as well, even though the lyrics are just parody. It's simply amazing what they do with such simple and comedic ideas. The music and vocals fit each other perfectly. Explicit lyrical subject matter. I guarantee you'll laugh so hard you might choke on your own breathe. It's also great how the music itself just flows perfectly.The conversations between the people drift in and out with well timed placement.

Track 9. Blue Screen- A simple yet well focused bass line starts this quite well. This seems to be an attempt of some sort of self parody of a love song or something. Thought provoking rhyme schemes. Even though it's a parody is quite fucking awesome.Tight sounding, with excellent melodic riffs. Digging the hell out of the vocals. I am actually beginning to understand what this actually about. Some nerd is heart broken over his computer crashing, sweet! It's crazy how they make it sound like a heart break song. Though at a point it takes a fucking awesome turn towards death metal, and swings back towards its crunching melodic sound. They throw in the spoken comedic parts very well, even with subtle melodic vocals. They are fucking relentless!

Track 10. NSFW- Extremely explicit lyrics right off the bat, and it seems throughout the piece all to an intelligent groove as well. Wow, that's a lot of FUCK, good luck holding back the laughter here! The mood of this track have change quicker than a politician in an election season. There's even a classical undertone with this track through the heavy riffs. They even manage to get patriotic, awesome and quite FUCKING hilarious!

Track 11. Danger Zone- You get the sense that some bad ass shit's about to go down. Oh no they didn't, yes they did. A parody of the Top Gun theme song LOL. The music itself sounds well performed etc, though in their heavy crazy own way. All of course added with their special brand of FUCKED UP! Really digging the extra bass lines, as well as the solo in the track that are added in. Quite silly though there are some thorough passionate vocal parts here and kick ass metal parts. The low fi rap melody via mouth at the end is FUCKING EPIC, and hilarious!

Track 12. New to the Neighborhood- Some very twisted bass lines jump about creating the opening melody. A funny back and forth between a couple and some old man. Ah man, it never ends does it? More insane entertainment and laughs thought he track was very short lived.

Track 13. Loathe Thy Neighbor- A quick kick to the face, is what this track is. It settles into a catchy groove. The comedic and horrific words flow out just right with a gifted enunciation. A dark delicious sensibility here digging it! Explicit lyrical subject matter here. Thus far through this album they remind me of Weird Al, and a mix of really any insanely entertaining heavy metal band. They blend melodies perfectly, along with stories, creating something that just draws you in keeping your attention absolutely. After the well crafted groove the bass solo takes over and a two way convo commences with extreme hilarity. Epic metal here.

Track 14. AWESOME- Starting off, this song is exactly what it states itself to be. Quick and catchy groove, with hilarity and metal thrown around like crack heads in a tornado. Digging the fuck out of that slick bass! Some lame but funny moments. Thick distorted riffs bang about from time to time, making the lameness of the track even better. Do these guys write lyrics for songs while shopping for groceries? I'd be willing to bet they were higher than a kite while this album was recorded.

Track 15. Choking Hazard- The track begins with someone eating something and they begin to choke, another person simply laughs and taunts the person who is choking. Fast and aggressive tasty metal moments simmer about with fury. There's some good music mixed in with this track, it's just fucking INSANE. Each song has its own story it seems short perfect and fucked up beyond any reality. Of course though this music is a perfect escape from any reality, that's for damn sure. Excellent vocals and melodic riffs thrown in here and there in moments. The rest of the music is just funny and quite seemingly graphic.

Track 16. Fight to the Death- Wow and all over a slice of pizza? An epic sounding track that's for sure. Probably the most mindless lyrics I've ever heard, though completely entertaining! Explicit lyrical subject matter. Extremely fucking Cliché. Wow and now over the last beer and the final roll of toilet paper?

Track 17. Bruce Campbell- The video was excellent, the song itself love the heavy parts. The flow of the crazy lyrics turns from entertaining to obsessive becoming maniac like. A bit scary at times, though quite fucking thrilling! The song transitions from heavy to clean very well. I enjoyed the vocals, both roaring and well performed cleans which were quite expressive and melodic.

The song takes a sick turn, though it never loses its edge. Sounds like a masterpiece.

Track 18. Trick or Treat- This sounds like a commercial for comedic presence between a brutal piece of shit old man and some kids on Halloween. The screams of children are heard ending suddenly against the sound of a ripping chainsaw. Wow, quite disturbing. I love it! Short but quite to the point.

Track 19. Dimensional Time Portal- Some thrilling and consuming metal begins the track. But they parody themselves at a gig. Epic. These guys just have no shame. Very weird but screwed and funny altogether. The title track jumps in and out at points, between the story narrative giving you bits and pieces of metal that leaves you wanting more, though it does deliver, too bad the track is very short, and that METAL was not thrown down at the very end of the song as stated.

Track 20. The Power of Metal Compels You- The most epic riffs I've probably ever heard bounce throughout my head with utter delight. Vocal quality great, but the lyrics are as usual silly and entertaining. Sharp and crisp powerful drumming. The music is short lived in some spots though it's great. The story narrative can be dark, fucked up and quite entertaining without a doubt!

Track 21. Outakes IV The Outtakening- This track seems like a combination of fucked up outtakes from throughout the entire album. It seems more insane and just completely off the wall than any track here. I'm sure being a fly on the wall in that studio would have made you laugh so much you probably would have pissed yourself. Panties that glow in the dark? Pretend that Godzilla is attacking?

These guys are the shit, so much rich comedy, and melodic heavy metal here. Fucked beyond all reality but with an extremely bad ass sense of humor, stupid metal that's for damn sure. I love the public service announcement. All in all, thrilling, funny, and it constantly kept my attention. The music that was thrown in here and there was also well written, etc.

Rating 10/10
