"I’d gone to an “acid test” at the union at Hull University. I walked in, paid my entrance fee and received my tab. People were already tripping when I arrived: they were on the floor groping one another or playing with a bathtub of coloured jelly. A guy was playing the saxophone, free jazz-style. The notes were so jarring, fast and scatty that it drove me crazy. As I went to leave, I saw what I thought was a hallucination: a small, beautiful guy dressed in a black graduation gown, complete with mortarboard and a wispy, pale-lilac goatee beard.

About a week later, I was out dancing when a guy came over to me and said: “Cosmosis, Genesis would like to see you.” “What?” It was explained to me that a guy called Genesis had seen me and named me Cosmosis. It was the man I thought I had hallucinated, and he wanted us to get together. “Gen was so beautiful,” reads an entry in my diary for November 1969. "His eyes were a clear blue, his hair dark brown and his skin a clear, golden colour. He smiled so beautifully.""

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

Pastel Jack - Trojan Horse

  Pastel Jack are a four-piece heavy metal band from Hull, England. ‘Trojan Horse’ is their 2011 debut album containing twelve tracks of thrashy rock. It is not sure whether the album’s name comes from the Greek’s use of the Trojan horse upon entering Troy, or whether it is simply named after a modern computer virus. Either way, it doesn’t really matter as long as the music delivers its message without straying from any paths.

The album as a whole lasts well over an hour, yet paces itself out with a selective variety of riff-filled tracks, whilst also using heavenly, soothed vocals that don’t irritate the listener as most heavy metal bands do. By saying this I’m talking about the vocal styles that past bands have formed and created either a love, or hate emotion for their sound. In this case there is simply no denying that vocalist Neil Baily simply sounds like none other in the heavy metal scene. Whilst at times the band could of done with a second guitarist to add tempo, and a more interesting array of riffs and pleasures to the human ear, it would seem wrong to correct what Pastel Jack have created here, especially on the works of their first album. With plenty of time and space to fill any voids for a future release, Pastel Jack are here to rock your socks off with passion by presenting themselves in the forms of live performances from around the UK.

‘Cold Light Of Day’ is a brilliant track fuelled by emotive lyrics, easily bragging their instrument abilities throughout, proving this track is a stand out amongst the majority provided. With a vast amount of influences from the likes of Pantera, Metallica and even Queen it comes as no surprise that these guys know what they’re doing. ‘Down To A Sunless Sea’ is proof of the more metal and hard rock elements, surfacing the great noticeable influence, without sounding like their taking too much for them to sound similar to anybody else.

Even though Pastel Jack avoid the screamo genre, they manage to promote and play their own branded thrash-rock fusion that still sounds fresher than ever. The use of clean vocals provides a more efficient easy listening motive, which could also lead for more open opportunities. Although in my personal opinion the occasional gruff shout or scream would of suited the album perfectly, but I wouldn’t change the album at all.
