Review/ Treponem Pal: "Weird Machine"

img  Tobias
One of the rare French band well known on the International scene, Treponem Pal hit back with a huge album, Weird Machine. Listed as "Groovy Industrial-Metal", Treponem Pal present us with a subtle and well conceptualised full-length.

It is hard to label a band like this, as their music is psychedelic, groovy, experimental and sometimes really metal (in the Guitars riffs). Marco Neves´s vocals are really groovy and “smoky”, coming with lyrics which are provocative, ironic or just plain funny – depending on the way you interprete them. As an additional bonus, experienced Paul Raven (from Killing Joke, Godflesh, Ministry…) is also taking part in this musical trip.

Weird Machine is accompanied by three Bonus Tracks which perfectely fit the rest of the album. Treponem Pal explore every corner of  the most diverse musicak genres and take the best of them; avoiding clichés and easy solutions. You will be nicely surprised.
