the Boots of Sharpened Blades by AlphaHistamines
Date Released 4/17/2009 Sales 6 Listens 5
To honor the start of the race for Lord Stanley's Cup comes this disc of hockey soundscapes from the happy industrialists. It drops the puck with "the 10 Minute Mark" & closes with an ode to Gordy Howe (a reworking of the Beatles "Revolution #9").
When the Gods of Frost came down from the frozen hinterlands to survey the games of Man, they gave to him sticks and pucks. But the greatest of these gifts bestowed...
the Boots of Sharpened Blades
for so Man could fly upon the frozen pond.

"Like a lot of southerners, I don't know much about hockey, but I know what I like! The industrial take on "Revolution #9" was quite unexpected and much more listenable than the original!
The cover is also extremely nice."
"shot & a goal!"
Ellsworth"InsideStonerRock.com says, "We don't have much time to watch hockey - it gets in the way of the heavy riffage, but we dig what the Alpha Histamines are doing. This is a great EP, particularly love "Whisker Burn" and "Bob's Clandestine Border Crossing". Kudos on an oustanding cover too!"
