BECAUSE THE WEB MOSTLY SUCKS

Brain Melt
Lye By Mistake take their name from Edward Gorey's Gashlycrumb Tinies, a children's A-Z poem that chronicles the nasty way certain nasty children die. One of these takes "lye by mistake." If you take lye by mistake, it can kill you. If you listen to this album by mistake, it might melt your brain. But if you're into mind-blowing musicianship, then you might want to check it out.

Lye By Mistake might be described as a hardcord or a grind band. They feature very grind-like vocals (growling? screeching?) But how to explain the prog-rock and fusion elements that appear in the songs? Or the John McLaughlin-like guitar playing of Josh Bauman? Lye By Mistake is fusion: a fusion of grind, progressive, jazz, flamenco, metal, and a few other genres. Might scare you away, if you're not prepared for this kind of stew.

I don't, myself, go for the grind vocals much. I'd like a little less "Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza" and a little more "Tony Williams." But you'll find both on this album.

The lead guitar on this is certainly unusual! Nice.
