It’s been over ten years since the band’s
previous album Multiple Organ Harvest. So has the power weakened, or are they
still a force to be reckoned with? Time to check out this Boogie From Hell
then. Suck me sideways!! This album is really a musical kick in the joint! Swing
Satanic Swing starts off with a punch in the nose and continues like a
steamroller with its power-stomp! This is brutal! Transport League has always
been a Swedish institution of powerful metal, but I think I may have really
re-discovered this Gothenburg foursome on this album. The sound is like a ton
of bricks, with Roberto Laghi providing his usual powerful mix! The songs are
really groovy for being so heavy, which really makes the title appropriate.
Tony is a vocal power plant with a brutal, throaty, raspy voice that fits the
music like a glove. He sounds a bit like James Richard Anderson of Texas Hippie
Coalition on steroids. What I really love is that it’s not just
chord-crunching, but lots of cool heavy riffs being thrown around. I also hear
a strong southern touch, which may interest fans of bands like Hell Yeah, THD
and Anti-Mortem. This is a bloody great album, indeed!
