Former Slayer drum virtuoso Dave Lombardo may be one of metal's finest and most appreciated and respected drummers, but at this very moment it doesn't matter much to me, as the songs on Fire From The Evening Sun are totally dull and just a pain in the ass to listen to. This release is to me personally one of the most boring and arduous records that I've been checking out thus far this year.

The music seems a little chaotic and the vocals are just constrained, yet without being contrived for whatever good that matters. Personally I can't find any satisfaction in the songs whatsoever, since they constantly have a lack of good grooves and a total absence of captivating efficiency.

I felt an instant saturation when I had listened to this record for the first time from start to finish. That strong feeling should definitely have been an ominous sign, but still I have punished myself by playing this record almost ten times to really find out what it's all about, but at the end of the day I feel that its overall end result is really annoying in my perspective.

It includes elements of psychedelic things, semi-industrial parts and pieces and bits of weird noises and I personally am unable to find rhythms suitable to what I find attractive. Never again will I listen to this record, because it gives me nothing more than a ride through a strange experience.
