Trying to review Cthulhu Rise is like trying to review a Rubix Cube, such is the changeable nature of the band’s intense take on metallic jazz. A band porced from the notion of song titles (simply naming each piece ‘Opus’ and assigning it a number), lyrics (you would need a PhD in advanced mathematics to construct lyrics and melodies over the band’s avant-garde assault) and typical rock imagery (the band are represented here by hand-crafted drawings), Cthulhu Rise are a unique proposition whose musical approach lies somewhere directly between Miles Davis (‘Bitches brew’ in particular) and Fantomas with hints of Dillinger Escape Plan and Dave Brubeck thrown in for good measure.
Indeed there is much to support the notion that this is an evolved form of jazz, upgraded and given new, metallic body armour to be sure, but nonetheless jazz as its most advanced innovators would surely have embraced even as far back as the heady days of the seventies. OK, right now I can hear a thousand purists roaring in rage, but consider Miles Davis’ assertion that he “could put together the greatest rock and roll band you ever heard” shortly before putting together the phenominal work of art that is ‘bitches brew’ – Miles was not afraid to use cut and paste techniques in the studio, nor was he intimidated by the electric guitar (this is the man who bought the astounding John Mclaughlin into the fold after all), and whilst Cthulhu rise are undoubtedly heavy, it is their jazz sensibility and not the metallic elements that stand at the fore of their music. No, Miles would have embraced this cataclysmically heavy music whole heartedly, and would have loved this brave, adventurous exploration of jazz in the modern era.
