Mozes and the Firstborn – ‘Dadcore’ (Burger Records)

There’s no denying that alternative music is getting long in the tooth. With some bands stretching back as far as the late ‘60s, we now face a point where alternative hasn’t just grown up; it’s had kids, grandkids, and retired to a house in the country. Whilst there are plenty of bands raging against the old guard and injecting the whole musical sphere with a new breed of snotty angst, Mozes and the Firstborn have gone in a different direction for their third record ‘Dadcore’, opting to pull together a mix-tape style compilation of styles that serves as a love-letter to the slacker and weirdo happy music of yester-year.

It’s an ambitious and impressive release that’d even impress Wintersun. This is folk metal that dares to push against its own clichés and ‘Hounds Of Perdition’ is a highly rewarding listen.
