MP3: Mustasch - I hunt alone
Download today's mp3 and listen to that chunky guitar tone. It doesn't get much meatier than that! And the swagger of that riff perfectly compliments the guitar-tone. When Ralf Gyllenhammar comes in with his wailing vocals and the guitar parts split into harmony, you may just be tempted to throw up the devil horns. Do it! Despite the silly name, Mustasch is not some semi-ironic, Johnny-come-lately metal band. As exemplified by the recent LOTFP manifesto on so-called 'False Metal', there's a mighty thin line between what metalheads consider to be true and the poseurs who pollute the scene. It probably all seems ridiculous to the outsider, but any long-time metal fan will assure you that it really truly is an important issue. Mustasch's 2002 debut full-length "Above all" is a modern classic of true Heavy Metal (with capital letters). It's got all the best elements from bands such as Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and old-school Metallica, but with the extra heaviness made possible by today's recording technology. Many bands try, few succeed.
