Based on the sonic evidence at hand (the song “Electro Snake,” which you can check out below), it’s not particularly heavy metal, other than the strangulated Bon Scott-esque vocals. But it does rock, and it’s still metal, according to Ryan Adams, and as Pitchfork is reporting, the parent record, Orion, is a “fully realized sci-fi metal concept album,” whatever that means.
Recorded in 2006, Orion is available on limited edition clear wax (no CD; download card included however), and you can purchase it at the official Ryan Adams website. http://store.pax.am/ Dig that artwork: it’s by Voivod’s Michel Langevin.
