Iron Lamb "The Original Sin" CD Review

Iron Lamb "The Original Sin" CD

Pulverised Records 2011

Sweden produces remarkable bands in an unfailing fashion. Iron Lamb’s Grga Lindstrom gives these 10 tracks a Hellacopters feel with his vocals. Structurally and sonically, this material compiles Motorhead along with Sweden’s Hellacopters & Entombed to produces a heavy, punk rocking blast. Iron Lamb's "The Original Sin" combines the punk edge and vocals of the Hellacopters, the repetitive chugging metallic abuse of a Motorhead riff, rounded out with the thick guitar sound of Entombed. 

Bassist Daniel Ekeroth wrote the book Swedish Death Metal (published in 2008), which apparently looks like I need to add to my collection of books.

Other pluses here include a cover of Motorhead’s “Poison” and the song “I Don’t Like You” starts off with a sample from the Warriors movie, which is always a great frame of reference!

MOTORHEAD "Poison" lyrics from the LP "Bomber"

People tell me you didn't know better,

Give me sermons 'bout the things I do,

Come to love 'em, even wrote letters,

You know I even asked it of you, I said,

I've been doing Poison,

I guess I poisoned my life,

I've been doing Poison,

it's better than marrying your wife

On the road, the pace is getting frantic,

Specially when your poisoned out your mind,

A flight of stairs is like swimming the Atlantic,

When you're poisoned, deaf, dumb and blind,

I take my poison,

I guess I poisoned my life,

Been doing Poison,

I wish I'd Poisoned my wife

My Father, he used to be a Preacher,

Never taught me nothing but scorn,

If I ever catch him on the street, yeah,

I'll make him wish he'd never been born,

He was Poison,

Guess he poisoned my life

He was Poison,

I wish my mother wasn't his wife, no!
