Fantazzmo – 1: Enter The Fantazz
Set to a whimsical name and a manifesto of rock-aimed sexual rebellion, Sergio Bedolla started his solo project “Fantazzmo,” which draws influence from classic bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones — with hints of reggae akin to 311 and RATM. Fantazzmo‘s opener “Superman” filled with sexual lyrics. Really something for me to chuckle at for a few listens. The rest of “1: Enter The Fantazz” however features more low-key songs, like the echoed beauty and fretwork efforts of “Eternal Abyss.” A late energetic kick with Coheed & Cambria-esque squealing guitars in “Souls On Ice” add some spice, but Fantazzmo get more points in my book for having spouts of classical Santana, than sounding similar to any modern-day bands. The acoustic opus “Cancion De La Gitana” finishes the record off nicely, with busy, swiftly-plucked fretwork. Truly an odd effort, that features technical guitars, but overall a nice surprise.
Decision: Approve
