Pilgrimz - Boar Riders

posted by: David on 3 June 2008

I Scream

Once again I’ve learned to never judge a book (or in this case, a cd) by its cover. When you take a look at the artwork for ‘Boar Riders’ you’ll probably know why. It looks like the cover for a punk rock album or something. But it’s not. It’s an infectious mixture of rock ‘n’ roll, metal and hardcore. Pilgrimz have been releasing music since 2000, but I had never heard of them before. Too bad, because this shit rocks!

It’s hard to compare Pilgrimz to others. Think of the tight metal of Hatesphere, the rocking vibe of Peter Pan Speedrock and hardcore in the vein of Barcode. Every song sounds different and there are even different song parts played in different styles. The magic word that sums it all up is energy. And lots of it.

Jacob Hansen recorded the 10 songs on ‘Boar Riders’ and he gave them a killer sound, together with Tue Madsen, who mixed and mastered it all. The only downside I can mention is that the songs aren’t really catchy. Some of them I recognized after a few spins though. I like their style, so I hope Pilgrimz will continue with their style, so they can really blow me away next time.

	Zeer leuk plaatje, alleen vind ik de nummers een tikkie te lang.
