It would seem to me that instrumental one-man bands are clearly underrated in the metal community. I’ve heard all of 2 albums that were purely instrumental and only had one member in them, and you know what? They were good fucking albums. And “Fugle” doesn’t disappoint me at all. The entire album was very, very solid for what it was and it’s the kind of stuff that I’d listen to at work if I needed some heaviness going on with a bit of variety and without having to worry about any lyrics or vocals that could possibly get in the way of awesome guitars and drums. Now some people can’t stand instrumental metal. Why? Well I don’t fucking know. So stop asking me. It’s an opinion question so here’s mine : they don’t like it because they wedged that big stick too far up their ass so they can’t bring themselves to listen to some new music whenever it comes along. But that’s just me. I feel like anyone can listen to this, however. If you’re a fan of the guitars and drums of metal, but don’t like the “traditional” vocals has much, well then Fugle has served up a nice little helping of just that for you people so go listen to this album because it has those badass guitars, those killer drums, and I believe they’d sound great with vocals just as much as any other band out there. But for now . . . I’m more than contempt with Fugle staying strictly instrumental since he clearly knows what the fuck he’s doing.
