│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Where do they come up with those band names? ║ │
│║ Stereo Nasty? Doesn't even sound right. So this ║ │
│║ guy, wearing his sleeveless denim jacket, walks ║ │
│║ into his favorite hi-fi shop (remember those?), ║ │
│║ hears some heavy metal tunes jamming out, sees ║ │
│║ the equipment, and says, "Dude. That stereo is ║ │
│║ nasty!" Or something like that. Stereo Nasty ║ │
│║ invites you to dig their debut album, Nasty By ║ │
│║ Nature. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Okay. Stereo Nasty rock out of Ireland, pretty ║ │
│║ much a country that has a solid history in hard ║ │
│║ rock and heavy metal. But these four larger than ║ │
│║ leprechauns bust some jams like it's 1983, maybe ║ │
│║ even a few years back. Yup. This is old school ║ │
│║ heavy metal drawing from the vein of the New ║ │
│║ Wave of British Heavy Metal. Yet, I might add, ║ │
│║ there seems a bit of a modern twinge to their ║ │
│║ sound. The riffage can sound rather sharp and ║ │
│║ intense sometimes. Not quite like the harshness ║ │
│║ of some modern metal, but pretty forceful ║ │
│║ nevertheless. One thing that's missing is that ║ │
│║ famous twin guitar harmony common to the genre. ║ │
│║ Stereo Nasty guitarist Adrian Foley definitely ║ │
│║ works from melody, but the riffs are his ║ │
│║ foremost weapon of choice. Check out their ║ │
│║ presence and rhythm within Holy Terror. But also ║ │
│║ being a good classic heavy metal guitar soldier, ║ │
│║ he can also rip off an abundance of fiery solos. ║ │
│║ Mostly they come at the end and sometimes ║ │
│║ they're too brief. I'm hoping he gets more ║ │
│║ liberty to wail in the live setting. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Two additional things struck me as I listened to ║ │
│║ Nasty By Nature. First, the album starts out ║ │
│║ with three long songs. That's alright, I guess, ║ │
│║ but I'd rather be drawn in by something more ║ │
│║ compact and efficient, something which distills ║ │
│║ the sound of the band to it's singular essence. ║ │
│║ The other consequence, or danger, is that these ║ │
│║ songs, if not arranged well, can become ║ │
│║ laborious. Interstellar is that song. Big on ║ │
│║ riffs, but it plods along with little purpose to ║ │
│║ the end. The second thing is Mick Mahon vocals. ║ │
│║ Calling his sound "vocals" instead of singing is ║ │
│║ probably as favorable as I can make it. He has a ║ │
│║ real rough and raw delivery, nearly screamo at ║ │
│║ times as well. Mahon is definitely an acquired ║ │
│║ taste, and probably the single biggest reason ║ │
│║ why I probably won't listen to this album again ║ │
│║ any time soon. As Ozzy once said, "I like my ║ │
│║ vocals more melodic." Nevertheless, for some old ║ │
│║ school heavy metal made relevant for modern ║ │
│║ metal heads, Stereo Nasty is on the right path. ║ │
