Veracrash - My Brother The Godhead

digipack. For that reason alone, Veracrash are among the most psychedelic bands out there today. All is mercurial and one can never quite get settled in. Forget the days of flowers and beads, Veracrash's version of psychedelia will have the listener grasping for the wooden stakes and pitchforks. I don't know whether I want to call the songwriting on 'My Brother The Godhead' a virtuosic performance or a schitzophrenic one, so I'll just say the album makes a very strong impression. In its purest form the psychedelic music genre takes the listener on a trip and that's the least of what Veracrash do here. For the most part they seem to do away with song structure altogether, establishing strong verse / chorus openers, then abandoning them altogether as they discover new paths along the way and with a shrug, guide the listener haphazardly off the beaten trails. It's an unlicensed guided tour through every underground hard rock and metal genre you can name that embraces the use of the fuzzbox. In the end, somewhere beneath all the noise and beauty and brutality is a strong identity and taken as a whole, it's a solid album that cruises along nicely, albeit bumpily Record Label: Go Down Records Style: Alternative Rock
