- This
album was meant to be reviewed from the summer , never late than nothing
! Samavayo adopt the sounds of late 90' alternative grunge with a
strong stoner rock touch as the band first formed at early 00' .First
the band takes my attention from the Berliners neighbors instrumental
stoners Rotor 's album '2" guest appearance on vocals on some
songs by
Behrang Alavi in the same year
'2005' Samavayo released 'Death March.Melodies!' on Nasoni Records a great
debut Lp for this time and a pick for all stoners in 2005 an album that
we should mention .Cosmic Knock is a look a colorful album outside and
inside ,'as you see from the cover art ' the biggest advantage is the
good performance and velvet voice of Alavi , give the an characteristic
identity to the band but sometimes the band goes more to mainstream and
this element maybe chase away the independence scene fans .

Cosmic Knockout include several good songs and
two candidate single hits 'Universe' (also video) and 'Payback'
starts with 'Cosmic storm' a nice intro track with great leading rhythm
structure , 'Payback' starts heavy anxious and dark the
progressive change to smooth melodic riff and skip the bridge to
balladic metal ballad ! this moment will remind you some of Greed s
'Human clay' and Alter Bridge , 'Turnin' - burnin' ' add the pop rock
vibe without the track getting soft , as the same music 'Give a fuck'
wont impressed expect from the melodic riff .Samavayo have a
plenty of harmony and groove the name off them origin comes from (Sanskritic
- ancient Indian language means harmony and unity) fits
exactly to their music style ... you can hear in 'Insanity' to make
opinion .The album have some breaks jams every 4-5 songs .Songs like
'Pillow on my face' have a nice music inspirations and composition
but miss some rawness and edginess here .Defenetly if you buy this
record you can replay the 'Universe' an alternative metal song from
earlier years music style like
'Death March.Melodies!' album
including some impressive lead guitar on the ending. Again music jam !
oh no ! anyway the songs i think worth the waiting.
'Alive' should mentioning including one of the coolest melodies i have
listen this period .
