Welcome to Episode 6 of the Face Ripper Records Podcast! After a brief, work-induced hiatus, I'm back with a reaction to an artist who consistently blows me away with his incredible talent: the one and only James Lem. I've covered James's beastly guitar work before, and this time he's back with "Arise (The Great Khazan)," a face-melting death metal track inspired by the South Korean RPG, "The First Berserker: Khazan."
He promised a kickass song with aggressive speed and groovy riffs, and he absolutely delivered. This track was so good that I accidentally played it again mid-reaction... and just had to roll with it. Join me for a double-take on a song that is packed with nuance, incredible riffology, and masterful bass work from one of the most reliably brilliant creators out there.
