MONE¥I$GOD

So.. I kinda forgot to scan the cover
I'll get it done someday


2006 - MW (lossless)

The first one is just pure sonic blast mostly. Ultra-raw and heavy, sludge-noise metal.
Primitive Neurosis with Skullflower noise level and Killing Joke backbone.
The obvious better one among the two, don't miss it.

1. I Don't Kill You
2. For David
3. The Calling Out Of Soldier's Mind
4. Sencitive (My Soul)
5. Who's Next
6. The Deadly Friends (R.I.P)

2010 - M.A.R.K.Z (lossless)

Is much weirder. The line-up changed completely except for Kan (vox), and although the first track is written by Hyo Kagawa (who was the guitar player on the first album, and wrote all of it's tracks), the music is drastically different.
This is like a pub band is jamming that same sludge-noise metal (oh yes, it's still heavy), feeling liberated to go where ever they want (Ska beats, East Bay Ray surf punk guitar, you name it), especially the bass player (the best thing on this album) with his in your face bass lines after bass lines. Great remix by Balata at the end.
Could have been better with some guidance at the recording probably.

1. Cancer
2. Murasaki
3. Black Rainbow
4. Waltz
5. Hate Song
6. Black Rainbow (Monke¥ Wa$ Dubbed Remix)

Thanks to Zager for lending me his copies.
