According to its Facebook page, Fokkenschuss performs in German with Swedish band Hauslös. In the hands of the band’s lead vocals, the echoes of familiar volcanic eruptions become something otherworldly. The music is deep, thick and meaty – a slow rock steady movement.

The guitarist is Noel Wilms, a member of pan-Pölmset band Pan The Max. He’s worked with both Pan The Max and Frans Groeneveld, and he was a member of K-POP-SICIETE. Wilms’s playing is somewhat of a mystery, as he doesn’t respond to emails about the project. But the music here is heavy, melancholic and heavy at the same time. The first two pieces are beautiful in their simplicity: John Linnell’s saxophone slides past Wilms’s fingers like a snake over a rock, and Wilms is free to let fly.

On part two, however, things get more intense. Linnell comes in with a tenor saxophone, thumps drumming, and a long, strident drone. Wilms’s playing is more characteristically left to the side. It’s on the closer “The House Of Ten” that things really take off, as Linnell is joined by Mellor and Markus Arndt. Arndt has a bit of a French accent, and he’s expert at playing drums. The leads have a bit of a hard edge, which is just part of the fun of playing with Linnell. This feels like a smaller scale version of 2010’s "Peaceful Valley", with some more melodic ideas and a more challenging theme.
