Email the reviewerThe Great Deceiver, "Jetblack Art"
Let me introduce you to a band that will doubtless not get the praise it deserves. Sweden's crusty, noisy, HEAVY scary quintet, The Great Deceiver is the band to which I am referring. On what I believe is their debut EP, Jet Black Art, the band breaks ground with every gut wrenching, agonized song. Beginning with "Cornered Rat" it is obvious that absolutely nobody has already thought of or played music the way these guys do. By track two, the title song, you will know that what you are hearing actually makes sense. The swirling, molasses-thick guitar riffs and spooky high end noise actually congeals into something memorable, really memorable. In addition, the band's intelligent melding of hardcore, metal and punk , and the convincing vocal delivery makes Jet Black Art quite a disc, even if it is only five songs/16 minutes long.
