ZIRCON reviewed in Feb '07 Metal Maniacs[views:16626][posts:37]________________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 10:54pm - thuringwethil ""] hey guys your demo got reviewed, p.120 ~~~~~~~ ZIRCON This Worcerster act is innately of death metal origin with plenty of slings of black metal spit into the mix, which seems all too appropriate seeing as they dwell in the hometown of the New England Metal & Hardcore Fest. While not conquering monumental heights with this short skin-shredder, Zircon is a relentless demonstration of black-tangled-thrash with a warrior's attitude. Some muted-harmony breakdowns haunted by the most cavernous low-end vox and a swirling buildup in the second track "Exploration of the Mind" was possibly the most supremely evil humans-becoming-meatloaf mosh moments of this month's entire column. Zircon blend influences from Immortal, Vital Remains, Gorgoroth, Skinless, Dawn of Azazel, Kult ov Azazel, and all kinds of remorseless, frigid decimation of the death/black ascension in a hurtling deathstomp. ~~~~~~~~~ pretty cool! I think they got their Azazel's bonged up, though |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 11:03pm - dreadkill ""] it means they rock like a bat out of hell and the audience digs it. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 11:06pm - KeithMutiny ""] all i can pictures is fat kids doing spin kicks "by the dashboard light" |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 11,2006 11:08pm - thuringwethil ""] I thought "Bat Out of Hell Meatloaf??" at first but it may be an off-color "Motel Hell" reference, I dunno. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 12:19am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] RAOV are in the same issue too. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 12,2006 12:27am - blackmetallady ""] I love Zircon. The review should have been more clear... dubious indeed. I don't quite understand "metaloaf mosh moments." None the less, they had a write up, which is awesome!!! |

| ______________________________ [Dec 12,2006 3:13pm - Yeti ""] Zircon, Goreality and Sexcrement should play together. that would rule all. |

Why are you bringing GOREALITY up in a thread about ZIRCON?! :spineyes: ha, my vote would go to revocation (best local metal) and polaris (best local prog), but goreality and zircon are excellent local bands. |
