Music reviews of Sacrifist
Music Review: Dabbles in deranged
Rating: 2 Stars
2 1/2
These are little more then artsy and/or masochist experimentations, but I suppose it is a small niche filled well for those heavily invested in the genre. Credit an eclectic arsenal on the production front for sounds not becoming repetitive and meanderings less pretentious. It sounds like early schiz-rock with maybe a little more accessibility from the straight-ahead metal influence mixed in with broader appealing elements, but does not reach near the heights of madness many others have.
Description of Sacrifist
"Speed/thrash metal at its noisiest...combines Buckethead's ultra-heavy guitar riffs and shredding solos with sounds of shattered glass for an unbelievably aggressive experience. There's also a short dub interlude and a hip-hop freakout with lots of scratching and high-pitched shrieks...though this is a great disc, it will put most beginners off by its mind-numbing intensity." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE Over the years, the name Praxis has been applied to a number of loose configurations of musicians either fronted or produced by Bill Laswell, going back to an experimental 12-inch in the early `80s on Celluloid Records. Since then, a revolving army of innovators has contributed to Praxis projects. This disc includes P-Funkers Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell each contributing one lengthy track: "Deathstar," with Collins' free-form bass explorations, and "Crossing," featuring Worrell's psychedelic improvisation on a distorted Hammond organ. Also thrown into the mix are Mick Harris (Napalm Death, Scorn) and Yamatsuka Eye (The Boredoms) screaming at the top of their lungs, plus Blind Idiot God, John Zorn on some shrill alto parts, and lots of ambient samples from Shinya Tsukamoto's cult film Tetsuo: The Iron Man.The second disc of Bill Laswell and Buckethead's project Praxis is much less of a band effort, and much heavier in tone. Many tracks are speed/thrash metal at their noisiest, which combining Buckethead's ultra-heavy guitar riffs and shredding solos with sounds of shattered glass for an unbelievably aggressive experience.
