Surging and swelling like a teenage brain tumor going through
puberty, alchemetalists Kalibas rise out from the
entangling clutches of Rochester's gutter and infects the listening
public with their most eccentric yet mature musical statement to
date, Enthusiastic Corruption Of The Common Good. Flirting
equally with puncturing pirate melody and caustic discordance over
the course of the EP's five songs, twin guitars nurture a
tremendously technical and distinct spirographic style of
stress-addled riffery set to boggle and toggle the controls for the
heart of the sun. Featuring an updated lineup, Kalibas has shed the
more overt and haphazard "grind" influence apparent on their first
full-length, Product Of Hard Living, in favor of
superimposed layering and orchestrated maze-like mantras of melody
--- techniques which have more in common with recent Gorguts and
labelmates Rune as opposed to the gamut of one-dimensional
death/grind acts polluting unenlightened eardrums. These five
"lessons" seem to romantically crawl down the back of one's neck
and settle at the base of the skull, expanding and contracting like
an undecided erection patiently waiting to discharge its payload.
Enthusiastic Corruption Of The Common Good is a zigzagging
showcase of Bermuda triangle mysticism and clown juggling dexterity
laughing in your ears, reminding you of the boisterous tickle of
shimmering dolphin squeals or of toy soldiers burrowing in your
brain matter, obtrusively poking and prodding with their lead
bayonets. Integrated, organized, starry-eyed, and misty care of
Tinkerbell's sprinkles of pixie dust, the brazen Kalibas have
become a clover-leafed magic metal band able to transcend any of
the restrictive trappings of extreme music's subgenres,
consequently setting them head and shoulders above their
contemporaries.
