Jew Metal? Yes, I think so. How many ways can I agree with this? Not only that, but far from being a total joke it is actually good. First track is a sick groove to jam to, just hang out, no metal involved... "Blood" is 100% Slayer's Show No Mercy except with totally awesome cave-reverbed Black Metal vocals and crazy middle-eastern melodic chorus riffs. It even has a Kerry King-esque solo of blind random tapping and authentically brain-dead chromatic scales. "Serpent Seed" sounds like Danzig crossed with Kyuss with the vocals from NIN's "Closer", and has Oud riffs thrown in for good measure. I would complain about the silly Rick-Wakeman-on-meth keyboard soloing and bizarre atmospheric bass rumbling but it's a small price to pay. "Der Judenstein" is Earth with Josh Homme contributing fuzzed out rhythm guitar, and "Army Girl" is like if Down played backup band for Stevie Wonder totally wasted on Saudi Arabian hashish and Lawrence of Arabia. King of King of Kings is a straightforward badass sludgy Zakk Wylde metal track with the same dope cave-black-metal vocals, except again has that Jewish pseudo-klezmer/middle eastern touch with all the latest scales and modes right out of ancient Judea. It also has a sick breakdown riff, so... awesome. "Kielce" is Earth 2 played by one Jewish dude, "Remember" is Nightwish but not lame, and "The Ballad of Leo Frank" is what Earth would sound like doing a horror movie soundtrack. That all sounds fucking tight to me. Even if it seems rough around the edges, it was almost all written by one dude, so basically just sit down and listen to it like a good little goy.
