Sanhedrin – Sun Head Ring
Warning: If you push “Play” on a track by Sanhedrin, you may have to pop a couple of Excedrin! Another power trio boasting Yoshida Tatsuya and Nasuno Mitsuru of the Ruins with that ashen-haired electric noise elf, Keiji Haino, Sanhedrin offers up another very necessary eight-track dose of wild and wooly intensity. We’re talking scalding, distorted, mangled electric guitar perfectly meshed with manic bass and drum workouts that are as taut as a Private’s bed sheet. This stuff could easily send Jane Fonda sulking all the way back to Golden Ponda with her fingers in her ears. What it all amounts to is improv rock from Hell, Heaven and Purgatory combined. And it comes sheathed in an attractive three-panel foldout cardboard cover with a half-circle of animals, electric appliances and musical instruments floating in a sea of black. Now, that’s just what the doctor ordered!
