Accolades for Split CD
Astroqueen from Sweden officially produce some of the FATTEST, grooviest and fuzziest riffs EVER!! The 6 new songs on this split show a much more developed and mature Astroqueen. Think Dozer meets Voivod (if you can :). Very dynamic and very fresh!!
Buffalo is a perfect match for Astroqueen with their harder edged Los Natas meets Megadeth sound. The new songs on this split are even heavier and pack more punch than the songs on their full length. The nearly 8 minute long fuzz-rock cover of Metallica's "The Four Horsemen" is just one highlight on a CD packed with highlights!!
Among their Swedish, can�t-write-a-bad-song-if-they-tried brethren, Astroqueen are probably closest to Dozer. Astroqueen, however, have a thicker, heavier sound. There�s also more aggression in the vocals yet they still maintaining a high level of melody. Buffalo stick with the Kyuss-inspired riffing, but tune it down and crank it up. They�ve got cut-with-a-knife distortion that makes tracks like �Tormento� and �Jesus, el Arquitecto� loud even at the lowest volume level. With Astroqueen and Buffalo contributing six and five songs respectively (and a video a piece), this is enough to give you a concrete feel for both bands without short changing you on content.
