CANADA STAND UP!! Chron Goblin has done the deed on their sophomore LP entitled, "Life For The Living"

CHRON GOBLIN

"Life For The Living"

MAPL

2013

"From the smoke-filled rooms of university res to beer-stained stages across western Canada, Chron Goblin spread the stoke wherever they go.  Filling bars and venues alike since their 2009 inception, the party-hardened four-piece have amassed a loyal fan base with their addictive on-stage energy as well as two intoxicating rock concoctions: a self-titled EP in 2010 followed by 2011’s acclaimed full-length One Million From The Top." -Via Ian Lemke (CHRON GOBLIN BIO PAGE)

  The opener, 'Deserter", sets you off into space with it's psyched-out intro that breaks brilliantly into the impending onslaught of pure heavy, fuzzed-out, riffage that follows into something Tim Suit(Clutch) wishes he wrote! No disrespect to the elders that came before. But with the subtlety of the intro into the heaviest sonic swell that just caves the floor in it's so heavy,  followed by Josh Sandulak's yell…THIS IS HOW TO START A RECORD OFF! PERIOD. Throughout the entire LP you most definitely get the vibe they've been doing this for 20 years but it's been only 4 YEARS!  The breakdowns are absolutely spine-chilling to say the least. Not too much 'noodling' with shredding, filler type bullshit around on guitar (much appreciated by me at least) which is indeed refreshing because for once, the proper transitions take precedent here and the dominence of Chron Goblin begins to shine right through.  They just fucking own you on this very reminiscent of MAN'S RUIN-era SUPLECS with more of a crash your car into a brick wall sound!

 Darty(Guitarist) has a very unique style to his playing.  I hear country and at times throughout the record I feel like these cats crawled outta the swamps of Louisiana or the hills of Appalachia.  

 Deeper into the LP come tracks, for example, "Give No More", which has a more crying out vibe to it.  You can hear Josh's vocal really peak on this track. His range is spectacular and he maintains his key to absolute perfection. Very impressive. Not to mention Darty's stellar guitar mastery that blends perfectly with the brilliant intricacies and spot on transitions. Good god... And to think this is Chron Goblin's sophomore release?!With the release of the "Life For The Living" LP ---- I can honestly say they have Canada covered. Throughout their 4 years together they've shared the stage with Devin Townsend Project, BISON B.C., 3 Inches Of Blood and many others. 

For western Canada, I don't think I'm by any means going out on a limb by saying, CHRON GOBLIN OWNS YOU! There's something for all fans of metal, riff-rock, psych…It's all here! I can't even begin to start comparing Chron Goblin to other bands. With a knife to my throat...I would say if you like KYUSS, RED FANG, SUPLECS, and TOOL...You've found your match! There are absolutely no boundaries WHATSOEVER when it comes to the music and that's something they are proud of and I dig it. The gem that is "Blood Flow" proves just that. I don't even have words for this track! You can literally feel the hard work, toxins, blood, beer, smoke (u catch my drift) and the grueling process of making a GOOD LP being poured out on this track. This is by far one of the best LP's for 2013 and extremely refreshing for the STONER/FUZZ/METAL genre. These cats aren't going ANYWHERE BUT UP! I can't wait for this band make it's way out on the road. When you hear this...I think you'll agree. -David Barski
