Zebadiah Crowe - Host Rider (Lore Breaker Records) Review by Steve Thomas-Green A quick search into the history of UK band Zebadiah Crowe, shows the two band members are also in Gilla Bruja… a band I reviewed way back in 2002. So although I may have some history with their other band, I really don’t know where to place this. It’s a bass heavy piece of filth. Like Venom tearing it up with the filthy biker rock of Zodiac Mindwarp or a demonic version of Motörhead taking PCP with a demented version of early VoiVod, jamming with a mar�al Industrial version of Ministry…. I even detect a bit of Bauhaus (possibly Dark Entries or Lagar�ja Nick) on Godblind And Des�tute Yep, it makes fuck all sense to me either. Zebadiah Crowe have created a huge wall of sound, and the wall is probably made of pig shit, or something equally as smelly. And the whole �me there is an element of melody, struggling to break free. The closest it gets to daylight is on The Neon Goat Of Crimson Grief, which compared to everything else here, is a real toe-tapper. Yet for all the noise and the filth, I really like this. This is most definitely the darkest thing that’s come my way in a long while, and it didn’t scare the cat away, who is sleeping about 2 feet from the speakers… so top marks for that too. This won’t appeal to everyone, but if you like it loud and dirty, this is well worth 26 minutes and 33 seconds of your �me h�ps://www.facebook.com/zebadiahcrowe/
