A BAND OF ORCS
"Warchiefs of the Apocalypse"
(Grimpire; 2011)
Reviewed by Snidermann
A Band of Orcs is a heavy metal band right out of the shadow of GWAR. The music plays like a twisted comic book, but it is somehow alive and as much a part of the band as its members: Gogog Bloodthroat - Vocals, Growls, Cretos Filthgrinder - Lead Guitars, Hulg ElfR.I.P.per - Crunchy Guitars, Gronk! - Shamanic Bass and Oog Skullbasher - War Drums.
Loud thundering music and growling gritty vocals play out like a cross between a Tolkien novel and, well, a GWAR concert. Strangely enough, if you believe in that sort of thing, this recording could be used a self help book! The music is hard, loud and in your face and those are just a few of things I liked best of the record.
This is truly inspired music and the more I spin it, the more I like it.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
