audiObelisk EXCLUSIVE: Ape Machine Premiere New Track From War to Head

With sinewy classic rock groove at their fingertips, Portland, Oregon, four-piece will issue their second full-length, War to Head, on Sept. 20. The album, which includes a cover of Deep Purple‘s “Black Night” that you can hear in the latest audiObelisk podcast, is full of hazy riffing, dueling solos, infectious melodies and love of the heavy prog of old. I think no single track shows that better than “Can’t Cure Deceit.”

Anyone who got off on Graveyard‘s Hisingen Blues earlier this year will dig the inflection in Caleb Heinze‘s vocals, and where War to Head has several really strong choruses, on “Can’t Cure Deceit,” Heinze rides the riff of Ian Watts‘ fuzzed-out guitar perfectly as Monte Fuller‘s drums cut to half-time and the bass of Brian True smoothly adds tonal heft to the song overall, using Watts‘ progression as a base for launching several excellent fills.

Ape Machine are self-releasing War to Head, and I was fortunate enough to get permission to host “Can’t Cure Deceit” for streaming. Check it out on the player below, followed by a few words from Watts that sum up the track nicely:

Here is the Music Player. You need to installl flash player to show this cool thing!

From Ape Machine guitarist Ian Watts:

“’Can’t Cure Deceit’ is a juxtaposition of violent lyrics with some heavy and psychedelic sounds. Almost like a stoned, hallucinatory, pre-meditated, violent mission.”

    First-tier stoner-70’s-riffery that along with GRAVEYARD and BLOODHORSE should be ruling the charts. Love you all dicks!
