1MA+U4
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 at 3:30pm by Vince NeilsteinOh Anso, you so silly with your band acronyms. You also so dead-on with your praise of One Man Army and the Undead Quartet. Like Stratovarius, 1MA+U4 are one of those bands whose name constantly graces Blabbermouth headlines but to whom I’ve never actually listened. How could that be given they’re fronted by ex-The Crown singer Johan Lindstrom? I do not know.
On a complete unrelated note in the same article, Anso (who’s also an MS contributor, you ninnies) chimes in with this truth about French tech-deathsters Gorod (whose 2009 album Process of a New Decline we’ve praised endlessly here on MS):
I learned that in Gorod, technical metal is being wrested away from clever East Coast hipsters and back into the domain of heshers thank you Europe. Like any good pursuit, it is improving itself and less and less frequently being comprised of five guys wanking in unison.
I <3 Anso.

I never thought I’d say it, but I think Gorod has actually managed to surpass Clutch for my album of the year status. It’s not that Clutch’s album is not fucking brilliant… it’s just that Gorod actually surpasses that.
In other words, I am totally gay for Gorod. Without doubt. Never has ‘weedly weedly’ sounded so damn good.
Killer song.
I’ve been listening to OMAatUDQ for a year or two now and LOVE THEM. And gorod’s album is fucking amazing, too.
Well impressed with this. Thanks MS.
This band kicks so much ass it should be illegal…
Uh…east coast hipsters don’t play tech-death. Some of them attempt to play black metal though.
Seen One Man Army live twice and they really fail to make an impression. Generic, boring and stale.
