Mutoid Man - Bleeder CD

Tracklisting: Bridgeburner Reptillian Soul Sweet Ivy 1000 Mile Stare Surveilance Beast Dead Dreams Soft Spot in My Skull Deadlock Bleeder Release Date: June 30, 2015 Label: Sargent House Origin: USA For those unfamiliar, Mutoid Man began in 2012 as a two-man project featuring vocalist/guitarist Steven Brodsky (Cave In) and drummer Ben Koller (Converge). Their debut EP Helium Head displayed a love of gigantic riffs, effects pedals, and 1980’s video games (the band’s very name comes from the boss of the NES classic Smash TV). More recently, the band became a trio with the addition of bassist Nick Cageao, and released Bleeder, a more fully realized version of the sound displayed on the EP. Mutoid Man combines Koller’s spastic drum work with Brodsky’s knack for melodies and riffs, resulting in music that often sounds like it was made by completely insane people. To my surprise, Brodsky can actually shred, throwing in far more lead guitar and general technicality than I remember hearing
