REVIEW ON 'METALLIVILLE' (UK)

ZIPPO - Maktub

4.5/10

Not a relative of the puppet from Rainbow, Italy’s Zippo, greet me with an interestingly artistic cover design. Anticipating interestingly artistic music inside, is justified but comes somewhat out the wrong way, very horrendously at first. Slinging together alternative, punk, metal, garage, industrial and a sprinkle of eastern flavour as the album front probably indicates, the seven tunes mostly disappear under it in to indecipherable heaps of noise and no significant hooks or lines.

Later numbers are a vague improvement but most of the time continue to come in too fast and carelessly with it all, wrecking what could have been a great record just as the front man’s pleasantly Pepper Keenan-like roar begins to come through.

Sadly Zippo may remain zipped up for a while longer.
