CoC : Vondur - The Galactic Rock n' Roll Empire : Review

Vondur - _The Galactic Rock n' Roll Empire_
(Necropolis, 1998)
by: Pedro Azevedo (2 out of 10)

Don't be fooled by the Ophthalamian links to Vondur: this MCD is much more the kind of thing a band would do for a few laughs during a rehearsal than something likely to end up on CD. In fact, I found almost no seriousness whatsoever here. The mediocrity of Vondur's instrumental side, including their use of a drum machine (sometimes at very high speeds), is only comparable to that of their songwriting. The Motley Crue and Judas Priest covers and the (somewhat funny) Elvis Presley song mutilation add practicaly nothing to the poor original tracks. Trying to destroy standards doesn't necessarily lead to interesting results.
