Heavy Mental

Editorial Reviews
URB
Killah Priest's debut solo album won't make you forget the ... conceptual vision, but his nurtured and understated deliveries are a welcome change from the clamorous ballyhooing that surrounds hip-hop every day.... [He] does hit on the occasional nugget of intelligentsia, but his pseudo-scientific lyricism sounds too much like he's trying to impress the teacher. Still, if ... this doesn't quench your thirst, you should go seek professional help.

What the Critics Say
[W]ith a powerful, slow-stepping near-concept album ... [featuring] lugubrious pace, sophisticated loops of orchestral, cinematic bent, and a load of guff on top ... Killah Priest exhibits a subtle, eerie finesse of his own.

Killah Priest takes us to hip-hop church to discover his classic Heavy Mental.......2007-07-13

With the re-emergence of party-oriented hip-hop tracks in the late '90s, lyrically talented mc's began to get phased out and could sometimes be considered obsolete if not promoted properly. Despite this, one thing is always certain: skills are skills, and MCs whose skills overpower their production rarely go unnoticed. Killah Priest comes from a camp whose lyrics will always be respected for feeding your head, regardless of production. Formally introduced to the hip-hop world on GZA's "Liquid Swords," Killah Priest debuts with his own solo album ahead of his highly-anticipated Sunz Of Man project. On HEAVY MENTAL, Priest shocks listeners with his complex lyrical style and is assisted by members of the Wu, who add additional musical flavor to the proceedings.It s a crime, but Killah Priest has been a vastly underrated emcee, not only when compared to his Wu-Tang counterparts, but in hip hop in general.

Bearing somewhat of a hoarse, dreary tone, Killah Priest easily ranks among some of the best lyricists in hip hop history with his poetic writing, incredible rhyming ability, and his afro centric subject matter. There was no questioning that the man had all the talent in the world for hip hop, and this is best represented in his phenomenal debut album Heavy Mental. You see, Killah Priest is one of those lyricists that are light-years ahead of the rest of the rap game. But what truly makes him as great as he is, is the poet inside of him. All through Heavy Mental, Killah Priest drops a number of amazing metaphors that relate top the mistreatment of blacks in earlier times.

One Step and Blessed Are Those are beautifully written tracks, despite their somewhat melancholy subjects, and overall feel .The president just ordered the navy/ to hit the borders of Haiti/ slaughtered babies from the waters of Euphrates/ maybe they send germs that polluted our sperm/ and made us live with circumcise in the serpents eyes . His writing is something else. Once his powerful words get through to you, you realize that he also flawlessly rhymes his words. Priest can say whatever the hell he wants and make it sound perfect, now theres an emcee for you.

Throughout the long, 20 track duration of Heavy Mental, Killah Priest will keep the listener mesmerized by his divine writing, with gorgeous metaphors that either refer to the history of blacks, or state his own personal beliefs. For example, he states that ones own religious beliefs can prevent them from discovering an unknown fact about the universe, summed up in this amazing line .Religion is a prison for the seekers of wisdom .Pay attention mainstream audience, because that line right there might be worth more than your favorite rappers career.

While I have heard a few emcees that are similar to Killah Priest, (Canibus and Ras Kass) when it all comes down to it, there is no one like him. The man was born to work with a pen. Who else would dedicate a love song to intelligence? (Wisdom) Or analyze the way black people have changed over the centuries? (From Then Till Now) .We was the wisest and the richest/ now we turn to snitches/ women turn to b*tches/ in the time of harvest/ we was the smartest/ worshipped wisdom like the goddess/ now we act retarded/ forsook the wisdom of the fathers .

Killah Priest seems to be more of a poet on this album more than anything, but dont forget that he is an emcee. Killah Priest also demonstrates his dominant battle rapping skills with tracks like Fake MC s and Its Over. Both of which demonstrate his amazing delivery as he fires off punch line after punch line to grind his imaginary opponents into dust Put whisky in your soda or vodka/ chop you with a blade made of copper/ kick your head off like a soccer/ ball, raw alcohol and its over/ arrest over in October

He is restless and ferocious on tracks like this, and he even brings two of the Wu-Tang Clans better lyricists, Gza and Inspectah Deck to join him in the battling on memorable cut Cross My Heart. So looking at everything I ve said so far, is there anything this guy cant do? Heavy Mental displays one of the greatest at his peak. As a writer, he's as deep and thoughtful as any other. As a battler, he's as talented and razor tongued as they come. Heavy Mental is a true hip hop fans dream. Step into the one of a kind mind of Killah Priest .

Personnel includes: Gza, 60 Second Assassin, Ol' Dirty [...], Tekitha, Inspectah Deck, Hell Razah.
Producers include: 4th Disciple, Killah Priest, Y-Kim, True Master, The Arabian Knight.

Killah Priest's Debut = The best Wu-Tang album by a non-member. .......2007-03-08

Heavy Mental was the debut album from Killah Priest. He first emerged with the single, B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth), which was included as the final track on GZA's seminal Wu-Tang classic, Liquid Swords. Initially signed to Geffen Records at the behest of Wu-Tang stalwart GZA, who helped develop his talent, Killah Priest went on to make one of the deepest and most thought-provoking albums in '90s era hip-hop.

The main reason why I had to add this album to my Wu-Tang collection was Track 4, From Then Till Now, a powerfully haunting track where Killah Priest spits ill rhymes commenting on the grim realities of that project-dwelling black folks deal with today while paying tribute to the glory and splendor of Nubian ancestors from ages past. This song was featured in the opening scenes of the movie, Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai, starring Forest Whitaker (Oscar Winner, Best Actor, The Last King of Scotland). If you're looking for a lot of rap songs glorifying excess, greed, drug dealing, pimping, and misogyny, you will not find them on this album. Killah Priest is strictly for cats looking for more out of their rap lyrics than the usually mainstream rubbish.

Heavy Mental, the title track, is especially daring and experimental. Killah Priest employs a Spoken Word Poetry-style delivery and utilizes an ancient Aboriginal wind instrument called a derrigeroo on that track to give it a primal edginess unlike anything that's ever been heard before. Clan members GZA, Inspecktah Deck, Ol' Dirty Bastard, and affiliate group Sunz of Man also made guest appearances on the album. Other stand out tracks include One Step, Blessed Are Those, Tai Chi, It's Over, and High Explosives. The beats, sampling, and production on this album overall, are top-notch.

In closing, I'd just like to say that this album was worth every penny I paid to have it and I look forward hearing the rest of Killah Priest's albums. As an MC with a near-limitless lyrical eloquence and vocabulary, Killah Priest "kept it real" on Heavy Mental.

If you bought 50's disc(s) don't buy this........2006-07-23

This album is one of my favorites. It's got what I look for in quality beats that match up with more than quality rhymes. Killah Priest has far more to say that most pop rappers and that to me makes all the difference.

Two lines standout, "one half my crew is aitheist, the other half is waiting on the spaceship." and "too many gangstas in the West wanna be rappers, to many rappers in the East wanna be gangstas..." just imagine those clowns from Mobb Deep or DMX or "the Game" and you'll realize that you're listening to a man who understands.

Killah Priest - Heavy Mental.......2006-04-10

Alright, yea I can agree with ALL you people who say that this album can GET boring and it moves TOO slow and sh**. But hey, Killah Priest can SPIT! This guy man, his vocab is top-notch. His stories he tells are insanely amazing. I mean, theres hardly any other emcees out there in the game that can throw out and spit sh** like Killah Priest does, thats all I got to say. His lyrics on this album, are perfect, everything that he spits, this guy puts ALOT of thought into his music, and I respect him for that on the real. The production, now im feelin it right, some of the beats are a tiny bit to plain, but hey he likes that real grimey sound right? Got to have it that way so I respect his choice for production. This album is good in all ways. This album is to be respected no matter WHAT! The song "B.I.B.L.E" youve heard it on "Liquid Swords" also. He spits mad rhymes on there too. Check this album out, he spits! And yes, this album will get you amped to go to the library, lmao.

Amazing.......2006-03-21

This is an unbelievable album, from start to finish. The lyrics are genius, crafted like you've never heard before. The religious imagery and historical illusions throughout will have you opening up you're bible and searching Google. I can not say enough about this album, it is truly unique, even among Wu-Tang albums which is quite a feet. It might not be the greatest album in hip-hop history but it certainly is the most interesting.

gore galore!!.......2004-11-13

Quite possibly the greatest gore album ever. Mindblowing. Hole in the head is totally awesome.

Underground Classic.......2004-07-16

This one grows on you like some Lovecraftian fungi. Some Death Metal bands strive to be the most brutal, others to be the most technically virtuosic. It seems that Autopsy preferred to be the wettest, slimiest, most expressionistic Death Metal band ever.

Mental Funeral.......2004-07-09

Ok, if you're not into sludgy Death Metal, then don't get this, stick to your Death/Grind crap, anyways, this CD is killer, theres a few "immature" lyrics on a few songs, kind of pointless lyrics on those, but the rest of the lyrics aren't bad, Killer riffs, vocals, drumming, this is Chris Reiferts band, formally of Death (Scream Bloody Gore) only, and he is good, also check out Severed Survival.

great band.......2004-06-27

i'm not sure why the one poster gave this cd such a bad review. i suppose if the only dm you listen to is stuff like suffocation, hate eternal, origin, cryptopsy, and other super techie metal onslaughts this might not be up your alley.

but if you ask me, this is one of if not the most widely varied sounding 'death metal' albums i've ever heard. the styles range from sludgey rock, to faster bits and several areas in between, with each song having it's own identity. if you don't mind more recognizably song-oriented dm, i would strongly suggest picking this up. i think fans of darkthrone and eyehategod could like this band a lot.

and oh yeah, it is insanely catchy too.

Not as good as the first album, BUT..........2003-12-22

...still a fantastic album in its own right. A classic, with genre-defining songs. The incredibly bizarre production only helps matter. Be sure to pick it up if you are a death metal fan and are new to the world of these bands, or if you've never heard this before.

Coroner's Best.......2003-12-08

I have all of Coroner's CD's and they really hit the mark with this one (their others are OK, but not nearly this good). If you haven't heard Coroner it's kinda' hard to describe their sound. Lots of rhythm changes, catchy rhythm hooks and extremely tight playing. They're one of those bands whose sound and style really stands out from other thrash bands. This particular CD is one that I still play regularly 12 years after I bought it. It's one of the tightest, catchiest thrash albums ever made. No hint of monotonous death metal here. Just virtuistic playing and great thrash classics. Tommy Baron is a very skilled guitarist who plays incredibly tight rhythm riffs and adds a tasty solo here and there. Semtex Revolution is one of the best thrash songs ever written. This is a "must have" for thrash aficionados.

Solid album.......2003-11-27

Clocking in at almost 48 minutes, Mental Vortex--the fourth full-length album from Coroner--is a good piece of work. It was released in 1991 and contains eight tracks. The material is in a metal musical direction. Overall, the songwriting is solid, the musicianship is proficient, and the sound quality is impressive. Ron Royce does well with the vocal delivery. Tommy T. Baron is a remarkably accomplished guitar player; he is not only an inventive rhythm guitarist but also a skillful soloist. He provides some cool guitar riffs on "Son of Lilith" and "Metamorphosis." "Semtex Revolution" features a nice guitar solo from him. When it comes to the drums, Marquis Marky does a skilled job, too. I like the shifting tempos of the songs throughout. Even though I find all of the tracks to be worthy, my favorite ones are "Divine Step (Conspectu Mortis)," "Son of Lilith," "Semtex Revolution," and "Metamorphosis." The band performs a cover version of the Beatles' tune "I Want You (She's So Heavy)." The CD booklet includes the song lyrics. There is also an illustration of a saw blade on the backcover of the CD booklet. The back of the CD jewel case displays an individual black-and-white photo of each member of the group. Mental Vortex is a gratifying disc from Coroner.

If you aren't quite ready to write off the holidays completely but are becoming a bit cynical about how the holidays are "celebrated" in a consumerism driven society, then you need this CD. Upbeat yet thought provoking

The songs are original. The music is nice to listen to, and the lyrics don't require an FCC censor. One of the better make-fun-of-Xmas CD's

I must be missing something.......2004-11-11

I imagine everyone reading this will be clicking on the 'no' button after the 'was this review helpful?' question. I bought this CD with high expectations. I must have read all of the other reviews. I am an avid collector of holiday music of all types and I thought this would be, if not a sure winner, one that could provide a track or two to a holiday mix. Sorry to say that I wasn't that impressed with anything I heard and I haven't played it more than a few times. All of these 5 star reviewers can't be that wrong, so this must just not be my kind of humor.

Amusing look at Christmas.......2004-09-08

Like all comic albums, your appreciation of it will depend on your sense of humor but I suspect that most people will find plenty to enjoy here. Even the copyright warning is amusing, explaining that unauthorized duplication of this or any other recording produced by starving artists will result in you heading up Santa's naughty list. The sisters (Mary Reynolds and Marilyn Rucker) don't look as if they're starving but you already know from the warning that this is not a serious Christmas album although there is a serious message in some of the comic songs.

Among the comic songs are the title track (about a family who don't get on well together), Christmas in July (wishing for some goodwill in summer), Abraham's lament (about biblical characters looking at how they are celebrated), The twelve days of analysis (about psychiatric therapy), The sweet nutcracker (about a psychiatrist), Happy whatever you're having (season's greetings), Santa's got the blues (about Santa needing therapy), Listless Christmas (about what you want for Christmas), The littlest snowflake (tracing the progress of a snowflake from its arrival on the ground to melting in the sun), Pachelbel's tantrum (another song about a family Christmas), New year's resolutions (about resolutions that are broken) and my favorite, The war of the lights (about rivalry between neighbors).

Apart from the comic songs, there are three others - It must be Christmas (a love song), Christmas boogie and Christmas polka.

If you want music to laugh at during the festive period, this may be just what you're looking for.

I wouldn't go through the holidays without it.......2001-12-04

The other reviewers are right--this album is so good I am buying another one to give as a gift. These women are funny without ever sinking to sick humor. They gently poke fun at everything from disfunctional families to over-spending. There's even a wonderful romantic song, It Must Be Christmas, that you can play for or sing to your sweetheart.

Coroner Hits All The Right Notes .......2007-04-03

The hardest Coroner album for me to find is also my personal favorite. This one has the best production, strangest lyrics, and outstanding production (although the vocals seem a bit buried in the mix. The only weak track is the cover of the Beatles' "I Want You (She's So Heavy) which, if not great, is at least tolerable (unlike the "Purple Haze cover on Punishment For Decadence). A definite easy (and intelligent) choice for the new-to-Coroner listener.

A group ahead of their time / Buy it!.......2005-08-09

I bot this as a "cut out" cd for 2.00. Its funny how those end up being some of your favorite cd's. A very dark/speedy/intense metal album. Its a cd that could be released today and still be very vital. I believe these guys were from Germany, had some success but broke up. You cant go wrong with any band that was on the NOISE label originally. If you like Celtic Frost, you'll love these guys.

Heavy and fast, while maturing.......2005-03-22

Mental Vortex was much of an album where you saw Coroner mature in their sound a bit, while retaining their characteristic chaos and heaviness. Very dark, which is independent of the heaviness. The album is mysterious and intelligent and spoke of the direction they were going in with polishing their sound.

One of the finest albums of the genre, while being a group that hasn't been matched since.

Mental Vortex : Pure Brilliance.............2003-04-20

I've been a Coroner fan since 1989. I remember the first time I saw Coroner on Headbangers Ball, and I was immidiately drawn to their sound. I love all of their releases, and highly recommend all of them to any fan of Speed/Death/ and Thrash Metal...

If you've never heard Coroner, you're in for a real treat. The only words to really describe Coroner's sound is "unique", "dark", "fast as lightning", "very deep"....

They don't sound like anybody else IMO, but they are brutal power at it's very best. They are all very talented, and perfectionist musicians. Guitarist T. Baron is one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. His riffs are blazing fast, and he plays some of the most impressive soaring/flying leads I've ever heard. He is without question an axe master....

Metal Vortex is without question Coroner's finest hour. It's very polished, and very well written. There is not one single filler here either. All of the songs on Mental Vortex have a very powerful, and lasting impression. Drummer M. Marky lays down some of his very best lyrics here too. It's a dark ride through the gates of hell and back IMO. They really did some excellent work here, and it's truly a masterpiece in every way.....

If I had to classify this, and compare it to another band, I couldn't really. I'll just say that it's one of the best CD's I own, and I've got 1000's......

Product Description

"Originally released in 1992 on R.E.X. Records, this is the very first Circle of Dust album ever released... Without a doubt, Circle of Dust was the quintessential Christian industrial group. And long before Slipknot was painting by numbers, Scott Alberts (aka. Klay Scott, Celldweller, Klayton) band was busy redefining modern metal with a sound that bled sadistic instincts with the sheer terror of industrial-minded mayhem. From the radioactive burn of the opening track, "Exploration" to the turbo charged tirade of "Nothing Sacred" through the abrassive allure of "Senseless Abandon," CoD delivers a molten mass of metallic fury that leaves most contemporaries trembling in comparison!"

Customer Reviews:

THIS IS AN EXTRAORDINARY METAL ALBUM FEATURING VOCALIST JORN LANDE.......2006-08-16

THE METAL OBSERVER gave it a (9.5 of 10 possible points) and says this about it....

"Wow, what an album. Who'd like to hear finest epic-stuff in tradition of "Headless Cross" or "Tyr" (both BLACK SABBATH) and one of the most gigantic vocalists of the scene at the top of his career, this one is yours. His name: Jörn Lande, a devil of a fellow, who sings with ARK, THE SNAKES, MUNDANUS IMPERIUM and MILLENIUM. But with BEYOND TWILIGHT he delivers his masterpiece and is somewhere between Dio and Tony Martin, but not a iota weaker! The songs all are rather doomy and extremely bombastic. The direction I had mentioned in the beginning is OK, just darker! This album is oozing with emotionality and pure passion, it is mystic and dramatic. With one word: killer!

PROGRESSIVE WORLD says.....

Essentially, this disc contains just about every aspect of what a progressive metal fan wants to hear. In addition, you also get a very well thought out story that is truly mesmerizing and haunting.

PROGRESSIVE ARCHIVES gave it 4.40 out of 5 possible points
and said..... "Excellent addition to any prog music collection"

The beginning..........2005-04-03

This is the first release by Scott Albert (aka Klay Scott). He is credited with putting Christian industrial on the map and giving it an identity. The tracks listed by Steven A. Burton are from the 1995 re-release of this album, not this original 1992 release. Klay wanted to redo this release because he was never satisfied with the quality of this original. I highly recommend picking up this title, and also checking out Klay's latest work under the band Celldweller. Here are the tracks from the 1992 original:

1)Exploration
2)Dissolved
3)Nightfall
4)Nothing Sacred
5)Twisted Reality
6)Technological Disguise

Album Description

The spotlight was on bloodpit in 2005 when their debut single, 'out to find you', reached the #1 spot in the finnish single charts. After its nordic release, the single found its way into the european single chart. The next single, 'platitude', sold as many copies in a week as its precursor had sold in a month. The band did not, however, appear from out of nowhere. Bloodpit's career began with performing at various bandstands and venues, they won band competitions, released self-financed eps and accumulated an army of fans. Since then, band's music has developed into a mixture of alt-rock, powerful vocals and metal riffs with punk attitude. 'mental circus', the band's debut album, is the culmination of music from bloodpit's entire career to date. The vividly rocking 'autumn' represents the older material whereas the newer songs include 'bad-ass blues' which combines heavy riffs with stadium melodies. Rajon. 2006
