Eidolon’s third record is gathering some buzz due to Glen Drover’s increasing stature as guitarist for King Diamond. Drover is also a capable producer.
They don’t kick out their lock’n’lorr jams the way their countrymen Guitar Wolf or Teengenerate have been known to, but Thee Elephant smoke in a similar way.
What began as a 7″ split with Dropkick Murphys and The Business playing each others’ songs, turned into this 12-song, 29-minute EP with some extra covers.
Bruising metal compositions that sound like modern Kiss, old Keel, new Alice Cooper and bits of Mötley Crüe and Lita Ford. Strange, but all in all, I like it.
