Mouga – The God and Devils Schanpps (2009)

cover

We have received very solid releases from Mystic Productions from Poland until now, Mouga’s attempt at mixing Emo with Nu-Metal and some Metalcore elements fails terribly and the band just comes up with a garbled release that will make you want you puncture your ear-drums after listening to it for more than 10 minutes. Imagine we listened to it for at least 3 full spins before going on to write this review.

We usually don’t like to put bands down unless they really deserve it, and for Mouga we feel that is our obligation to warn you about this steaming pile of shit of an album. The band’s attempt at mixing ‘commercially’ safe genres might be justified, but when there is no substance, and more importantly no music behind such an attempt, it just makes it crash and burn miserably.

With annoying as shit clean emo-like vocals and even worse screamed vocals we can’t seem to wonder if this band has ever heard themselves. The guitar riffing is completely ripped-off bands like Disturbed, Korn, etc, and it fails to string a couple of notes together that would actually create a powerful (and solid) melody. Yes, we agree that some parts sound somewhat interesting but they are quickly drowned away by the terrible vocals and get lost into oblivion.

If emo music is your thing, you will find yourself disgusted by this release. If nu-metal is you thing, you will be equally repulsed by the riff theft of this band. However you see this release is just plain uninspired, you might be impressed if you lived under a rock for the last 5 or so years and you’ve never heard of bands like Korn, Linkin Park, etc.

We are all up for ‘innovation’ and genre-bending from bands, but when you put together terrible musical genres and can’t write solid music you come up with a terrible release such as this one.
