Another slab of sound that I can't believe that I'm coming to this late, IV is the final release from the incredible, mind blowing ambient-

hardcore genius of Bucket Full Of Teeth. It fucking astounds me that this band didn't become gigantic. But they weren't, and aren't...nope, Bucket

Full Of Teeth were only around for a short time, formed by members of the seminal 90's hardcore band Orchid, playing only six shows during their entire

existence and producing only three 7"EPs and this final CDEP statement. This 16-minute disc contains 12 blasts of unpredictable stylistic shifts, cramming in

everything from breathtaking electronically textured hardcore, sweeping panoramic ambience, soaring blissed-out cosmic synthesizers, ultradistorted grindcore

and brief blurts of blown-out sludgedoom, massve Southern rock boogie and crushing instrumental apocalyptic-rock, often several of these elements coming

together in the same song; what is so awesome about this EP is how the mishmash of styles and sounds is so thought out that it totally comes together as a

seamless, futuristic vision; at any given moment Bucket Full Of Teeth sound like an unearthly mixture of Popul Vuh and Infest, Pink Floyd and Orchid,

Vangelis and Eyehategod, Converge and Corrupted. Yeah, it's sort of hearing DIY hardcore kids taking a stab at Naked City style genrefuckery, but it sounds

awesome.
