I should be ashamed. Kong is a band that already exists for over 25 years, but that I’d never heard of before.
Of course this might have to do with the fact that what Kong brings us, is not your typical metal or hard rock. To start with all their songs are purely instrumental. So no vocals. As if that alone wasn’t enough, what they bring us is not typical metal either. I would even be tempted to call this industrial metal, or techno-metal, whatever.
I think that with this band you have two options, either you like them, or you don’t like them. And for once, even if it’s instrumental music, I like it. But this is because their music is so diverse, and so complex, that you have to give this album a few spins before you’ve discovered how intricately woven the musical patterns are.
