Rocket From The Tombs
The Day The Earth Met The...
(Glitterhouse, 2002)
19-song blitzkrieg from short-lived US proto-punk warriors...
It’s August 1975 and Cleveland’s noise-hungry heavies Rocket From The Tombs are about to play the final show of their excruciatingly short existence. In the fourteen months preceding their unwitting farewell at the Viking Saloon, the band went from a simple MC5 covers outfit to a brigade of proto-punk crusaders who, like their Detroit counterparts, would continue to channel the blasting, overdriven wall of chaos and abandon that would prove so influential in the years to come. RFTT made a nasty, mean sound. Although with titles such as Final Solution, Never Gonna Kill Myself Again, Frustration, Sonic Reducer and Search & Destroy, what else would you expect? The barrage does occasionally relent. Amphetamine is a rolling Velvets-esque drone-ballad and the super-charged r&b of Seventeen is more Pretty Things than Ramones, but it remains the full-tilt thrash of Cheetah Chrome’s guitar, Johnny Blitz’s drums and Crocus Behemoth’s vocals that defines RFTT’s deafening sound.
