NEW REVIEW EXCERPTS FOR 'THE CORE':
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
".ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the future giants of progressive/eclectic rock/metal, if you will, a band worthy of taking place along the Opeths, Mastodons and Tools of the world - Gollum.these guys have the 'tude that's genuinely lacking from metal these days…a feeling of unadulterated artistic freedom of expression with no expectations or strings attached."
-- Imhotep (Sweden)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
".music this different that's able to fire on all cylinders is the equivalent of expanding ones mind without the drugs."
-- Way Too Loud
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
".an incredible album full of hauntingly exotic metal tunes and outright death metal bludgeon."
-- Away-Team
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"This album is a brutal metal experience similar to something you might hear from Mastodon, possibly Isis, but then take those sounds and fly warp speed so far left of center that you're fluttering around in your own dimension. Mixed with the traditional metal guitar tones and rhythmic soundings, we have Gollum experimenting with bizarre song structures and seemingly random mood swings that create a truly wondrous listening experience. "
--Ripple Effect
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"While it certainly falls into the metal category, the band throws everything from vintage thrash riffs, sludge filled doom riffs and vicious vocal snarls at the listener and they make it work perfectly. Think early Megadeth meets Eyehategod."
-- Unbound
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Core is one of the most complex, sonic-scraped albums of the year because you
literally have no idea where these guys are coming from, much less where they're wading towards through their distorted furrows."
-- About.com
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"…churning cauldron of driving riffage…sludge and heavy groove…an overwhelmingly positive treatment…obvious touchstones include early Mastodon…Acid Bath…Soilent Green…"
--Shawn Macomber, Decibel (June 2009)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A gooey cake of psychedelic sludgecore hot out of the Buzz-Oven"
– Revolver (July 2009)
