Greenmachine - The Earth Beater (1999)

Date: 18 Jul 2017 07:47:31

This early album by the heavy rock trio Greenmachine showcases its style of deep stoner rock groove mixed with an aggressive hardcore attitude and harsh throaty vocals. Blend the steely rifferama of fellow Japanese rockers Boris with an attack-dog attitude and add a touch of that unique Japanese sensibility which sees beauty in ugliness and ugliness in beauty and understands that each is the necessary complement of the other and you have some idea of what Greenmachine sounds like and is striving for. Within that apparent unrelenting hardcore / heavy rock juggernaut, there is room for melody though it's not very distinctive or tuneful and the music is tight yet free-flowing. In parts of the album there is even pause for self-reflection.

The songs are short and only two are longer than 4 minutes each. The printed lyrics are of an apocalyptic nature and to me don't make much sense. They may have been written in a deliberate stream-of-consciousness style, in which case I shouldn't fuss too much and just accept them as they are. The music is thrashy and raw with a stern under-tone. Listen closely enough and you'll hear some attempts at creating a quiet though ominous mood on a couple of tracks. Song titles like "Hempty God Returns to Sky", "72% Decay" and "Barbarian Dope" look mind-boggling.
