Burn Idols are this hardcore band from Long Beach I guess. Theodicy is this album and it starts off with a great instrumental track. It's really calm and relaxes you. The atmosphere teetering along the edge in the background of the actual progression of music also kind of prepares you for the rest of the album - a fast paced screaming craziness that could be called hardcore, but could also bring you back to your first black metal album.
And that's the thing. Some of these songs are really short. Some are a decent length. None of them overstay their welcome. They're all chaotic apart from the opener, so when the second track starts you get surprise attacked at the bum. There are riffs sticking up around here that might also fit well on a stoner rock album, even. The influences here are from your favorite metal genres, but the overall sound is hardcore, and it really does rock.
Technically, Theodicy released late in 2011. So late, in fact, that I couldn't get to it then and it was promised to my 2012 chart. As most people who follow the year work, I consider December an interim of the year it belongs to and the year that follows it. Anything after the fifteenth or so is technically up for grabs in my opinion.
And I'm glad because Burn Idols' new album is one of those types that you can enjoy under half an hour and get on with what you were doing. It's also perfect if you ever want to tear apart a room or break something.
