Edinburgh Metal
Scene 25/05/04. Starting later than announced were the enigma that is USURPER. It was clear to see most people just didn't get them. Two guys were hunched over what appeared to be only a guitar pick up, a cymbal, a double-bass pedal and two mic's and then proceeded to make mostly quiet noises with them. USURPER describe themselves as 'nigh-inaudible experiments with disabled instruments', so they know exactly what they're doing. A low hum from the guitar pick up was accompanied with occasional cracks and scrapes as well as some retching into the microphone and a climax that consisted of each guy stamping on the bass pedal as hard as they could. Some would say artistic, others would just scratch their heads. At the very least, they're unique and worth investigating if you want something truly different.
Ali.
