(HS) "Darkland Express" is four minutes of good hard-drivin' rock 'n' roll, with lots of double bass drum work and lots of rapid-fire unison figures between Greg and myself. It's the most composed piece Jugalbandi has ever played, (which is understandable, considering its origins). Bordering on being an IL6, as far as the drum part is concerned "Darkland Express" is an IL6 -- everything I play is composed for the piece and doesn't vary from performance to performance.
(GS) This really is perilously close to an IL6, maybe a couple of bars away from being one, at the end of the short guitar solo. Fans of the original on the album of the same name will recognize that otherwise the structure is almost identical. I had serious doubts this would work with only two instruments, but I was mistaken. Heavy, hard energy throughout. Hyam's slamming drum part made this thing into the chugging steam engine it deserved to be.
Throwing mathcore, emo, and ambient into the mix, Estonia's Kaschalot push progressive rock's multitasking approach to its limits. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2021
