Acid Eater - "Black Fuzz On Wheels" (2010)

This is a comprehensive list of the things I know about the rock 'n' roll group Acid Eater;

1. They are from Japan, which puts them as an exciting anomaly in my iTunes, with DJ Krush being their only countryman I listen to on a regular basis.
2. They released an album called Black Fuzz On Wheels back in the heady days of 2010, and according to YouTube, have released some other ones at some point.

I'd estimate that Acid Eater have somewhere between three and twenty-six members, although their songs are cloaked in such an unutterable volume of distortion it's pretty hard to tell if people are playing instruments or there are just some guys hitting dustbins and other household items in a style reminiscent of 1960s garage rock. Most bands turn up the overdrive on their guitars, but Acid Eater also turn it up on the bass, drums, vocals, and the lead instrument; an ever-present Ray Manzarek-esque organ. This makes the songs that little bit more TOTALLY FUCKIN' X-TREME BRAH. Paces are fast. Some of the songs are covers, apparently, although I don't know of whom.

Returning to the vocals, in addition to being fed way over the limit, they are completely unintelligible. Perhaps it's different for Punk Your Pants' substantial Japanese fanbase, but the majority of it is processed by my ears as "how now brown cow". Right, I've completely run out of things to say about Black Fuzz On Wheels because I listened to it the other day, couldn't be assed to review it then, and now I'm actually listening to Tattoo You by the Rolling Stones. Time to switch the track...

Looks like they're a bona fide fuckin' event live.

If the guitarist is playing anything, it's nigh-on impossible to tell due to the manner in which your eardrums are being assaulted, so the hooks (and by God, there are hooks) are provided by the organ. Just listen to Yes, Motion, the exciting opener. With the powerful groove being totally simplistic it's all about that organ which is all like DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUMDUDUM. Shit fucking shreds dude! Shreds hard! Although it doesn't literally shred, because Acid Eater aren't self-indulgent assholes like Steve Vai or Joe Satriani. Seriously, who the fuck listens to those tiny-penis-compensators? Other guys with an interest in fast, complex guitar playing, I suppose. So...guys with small dicks. Key word being "guys". Ever seen a girl listen to "shredding"? No. They'd rather listen to the smooth soundz of Japan's Acid Eater!

This is a mad, psychedelic record, and it's called Black Fuzz On Wheels, so you know it's gotta be badass. Hit up the sordid sounds.
