REVIEW: Charger - Confessions Of A Man (Mad Enough To Live Amongst Beasts) Peaceville Records, 2003
4/10
Charger - Confessions Of A Man (Mad Enough To Live Amongst Beasts) - cover art From working man's Stoke on Trent on the British mainland hails Charger who are now unleashing their second album after the 2000 release of a mini album on Undergroove. They have been given some attention already in their home country, having been out on the road with bands like Amen, Raging Speedhorn, Minus and in May / June they will go on a full 36 date European tour with Today Is The Day. This will not give them any extra points in my book but it might still be interesting to know of to give you some picture of what type of band this is. The music of Charger is a primitive mix of raw punk, sludgecore and a small piece of doom metal. It is noisy, heavy, dirty and without any trace of melody. Peaceville is a label that seems to be signing bands with a "love 'em or hate 'em" feeling. While Charger have probably achieved what they wanted to achieve with this album it is to me rather boring, plain and simple. It is definitely not an album that I would recommend to anyone who like music. Not exactly the worst I've heard so far but there is absolutely nothing on this album that appeals to me very much.
