Show Me A Dinosaur - Show Me A Dinosaur (2016) EN


It’s time to travel east. And north. And a little bit south as well. To Russia. And more precisely, to its former capital built by tzar among swamps, just like Dubai is built on a desert because that was a shah’s wish. To the city of palaces, vast and neglected housing areas and one museum with human fetuses drowned in formalin - Petersburg. And our guides are the members of Show Me A Dinosaur who will “flood (with) guitar sounds with hurricane of drums and desperate screams.

The bands floats somewhere on the genre borders - between horrendous black metal and aggressive screams through pitch black shoegaze to delicate guitar twanging. You can both drown in an ocean of sound and shred a tear over crystal bites of strings. SMAD like to play on emotions of very big importance, some would say that they really dig pathos. The introduction to their album is built on the human existence whose bodies, like everything else in the universe, “are made of (stars’) remnants and massive explosions in the galaxies”. But still we “choose to complicate life. We design a life of self-inflicted stress, negativity and broken habits. (...) There are times we wish our life away.” The bombastic style of metal really goes well with shoegaze sounds’ depth.

“We’ll meet where there will be light / covering our eyes we’ll fly high / We’ll meet where there will be light / to fall into ocean, like stone down to the bottom” - words like those never sound so good as accompanied by the wall of guitar sound, expressed as desperate screams.

“Show Me A Dinosaur” is available for $6.99.
