Cargo Lift – Then

 

 

Cargo Lift – Then
Self released – 2021
Rock, Alternative, Metal
Rated: ***

The list their influences on their bandcamp site: “Faith No More, Tool, Deftones, Royal Blood, Foo Fighters, QOTSA and a bunch of other huge names…” And all of them and a bunch of other huge names can all be heard on the debut full-sized album Then by Greek quartet Cargo Lift. Paying homage in a big way to the nineties alternative rock sound and the metal of that era.  There are some progressive touches and there’s a whole lot of power! Power in every instrument, vocal line and everything they do. Which also shines through in the excellent production of the nine tracks present on Then. It’s heavy and it’s moody; dense, thrilling and literate rock from a four piece that seems to know exactly where their strength lies. Cargo Lift and their Then record; an elegant and powerful storm!
