Grip Inc. - Solidify

Metal Blade - 1999

Posted on Monday, June 13, 2011

Riff-wise, this occasionally departs from their first two LPs, generally into the start-stop territory that’s less favored by me. Very fortunately, Gus makes no similar concessions with his vocals, and Waldemar injects enough variation into his guitar work to almost make you forget the less-than-great parts, and there are a lot of great moments on here, too. But the bottom line is that I really don’t like this “’90s” riffing style. Thankfully they don’t employ it all the time, but a little goes a long way with me. And things certainly do get better as the album goes along. So, I’m torn on how to rate Solidify, and I’ll wait for their next disc to say anything too bad about Grip Inc.

Rating: 8

This album Margaret Aitken, the great story of Balwearie witches. After pleading guilty under torture, the Commission pointed out that witch witches throughout the country in exchange for their life hunter aid offered. During the four-month period, after the Aitken Commission has been identified by his was visited several parts of Scotland and detained a number of people put to the test and burned at the stake. Aitken is finally driven to madness by guilt and haunting looks of my brain can not be killed by the hands of innocent girls. She has proven to be a fraud and is burned in the game itself. (Our interpretation of this story)

Do you need any more flyers for this? Psycho said you needed more flyers. I’ll mail another 50 pounds to you.

I saw this yesterday (12/28/15) and I didn’t want to believe it. Lemmy and Motorhead played a large role in my ill-spent youth and even though I knew it wasn’t possible, I thought that Lemmy would always be there. He lived fast and hard, just like his music. He was an inspiration to countless people and Metal as we know it wouldn’t be the same without him. He was a true legend. His Iron Fist shook the world and changed it forever. Rest in peace, brother Lemmy. You will never be forgotten.

I was more than a little disappointed that their amazing cover of Slaughter‘s “Fuck of Death” wasn’t included on this EP…
