While they possess more than a passing resemblance to California desert-rockers Fu Manchu, Moscow’s Electric Lords are so aggressive and threatening that they sound like their van probably runs on Fu Manchu’s blood.

Imagine Mad Max in 1976. In the middle of a Russian winter. What a heavy record.

Came from the sky like a 747. Classic Rock’s least-reputable byline-grabber since 2003. Several decades deep into the music industry. Got fired from an early incarnation of Anal C**t after one show. 30 years later, got fired from the New York Times after one week. Likes rock and hates everything else. Still believes in Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction, against all better judgment.
