Стёбный проект вокалиста/басиста Carcass Джеффа Уокера при участии большого количества приглашённых "звёзд". Эти, с позволения сказать, "пушкИ" исполняют кавер-версии песен известных кантри и рок-н-ролльных исполнителей. Так что запасайтесь пивом и добро пожаловать в дереБню Жмурик! Хорошее настроение гарантировано!
Воистину, количество звёзд, засветившихся на этом проекте удивляет. Впрочем, не настолько, как величина этих звёзд. Ник Холмс (Paradise Lost), Вилле Вало (H.I.M.), Билл Стир, а также куча перцев из Finntroll, Amorphis и прочих Cathedral-ов. И что вы думаете, эта «могучая кучка» волосатых металлических мужланов поёт старые добрые country (или правильнее cuntry) боевики. Так что поклонников музыкального мяса спешу предупредить: собственно металла и тяжести здесь не много, зато предостаточно здорового южного ковбойского задора, удачно замешанного на финском хмельном угаре (всё-таки финский студийный след отразился не только на качестве звучания, но и на музыке самой). Правды ради надо признать, что юмора в этом релизе много больше, чем, собственно, музыки, последняя здесь вообще вторична, релиз этот ценен необычностью подхода к реализации, поэтому ждать от него большего было бы неправильно, что, как вы понимаете, можно с одной стороны оценивать как его достоинство, а с другой стороны – как его недостаток. Поэтому всё будет зависеть от того, с какой стороны вы к нему подойдёте, и не ждите, пожалуйста, от меня осмысленной рецензии на этот безбашенный релиз, поверьте, его ценность не лежит в музыкальной плоскости. В качестве субъективного довеска к рецензии могу добавить лишь, что мне больше всего понравился закрывающий трек, на котором засветился Ник Холмс (Paradise Lost). Великолепный, добротный, тяжёлый почти готик-металлический (поздний период Paradise Lost) боевик – пожалуй, наиболее музыкальная и самая запоминающаяся вещь на альбоме.
Were you one of those people who, upon discovering that "Keep On Rotting In The New World" on Carcass' Swansong was not in fact a grindcore version of the famous rock hymn, felt a little disappointed? Well, it seems like Jeff Walker has finally decided to fill this gap in for us. We finally get our Neil Young cover, along with ten other country and blues standards butchered by the ex-Carcass vocalist and a bevy of guest musicians, including Ken Owen, Bill Steer, David and Vincent Cavanagh, Billy Gould, Nicke Anderson, Shane Embury and Nick Holmes, to name but a few. As you can guess, this is quite a weird release. I was expecting Hank Williams III or Al Jourgensen (with his 666 Shooters) to release some sort of country-metal album first but Jeff Walker has beat them to it. It also seems like he has taken a pretty laid-back attitude and recorded what sounds like a collection of songs that a bunch of his metal friends captured during a night of rodeo, heavy drinking and square dancing. In other words, this is not any kind of ground-breaking country metal hybrid that could perhaps point other bands into a fresh new direction. Instead, what we get is some famous songs performed with a metal edge and multiple vocalists (although Waters' anti-melodic rasp dominates). The band is definitely more at home with the faster and more dynamic songs such as "I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" and the album closer, although the legendary ballad "Once A Day" also sounds decent in their rendition. This stuff is definitely fun to listen to but otherwise does not do much else for me. In the end Welcome To Carcass Cuntry is more of a novelty album than a collection of meaningful songs. I suppose you can play it on some of those metalhead parties you go to, or perhaps to make your country-loving friends laugh. By jupitreas (www.metalstorm.net)
