Egypt is a band hailing from Fargo, North Dakota, and
these guys have written some of my all-time favourite songs. I recall a buzz
about their self-titled record/demo on forums around 2007 I think it was, and
eventually I found a download link on the web. This 4-track masterpiece was
initially a demo-recording set to score the band live-gigs outside of their
hometown. Recorded in a tiny concrete shack by drummer Chad Helle, Egypt gave
their first four songs ever written a vibe which in my world only can be
described as magic. The bass was recorded on a SVT Pro II plugged straight into
the board, and for guitar a 50w Marshall-head, into a 4x12 and a
4x15.
The demo was picked up by stonerrock.com, who shipped it out as
freebies through their All That Is Heavy-store, and eventually it was picked up
by Norwegian North Dakota-student Andreas Jensen, who decided he would release
it as a limited vinyl on his label, Lyderhorn Records, after seeing the band
live countless times.
Well, back to the songs. I remember the first time
I put the record on; I was at my parent’s house in the countryside. “Valley of
the Kings” tingled my ears from the very first note. The phaser-ridden bass,
great guitar sound and the gentle groove. Aaron’s vocals are incredible on this
record, and “Erect a monument to me, for I alone am your king” is such a strong
start, and that sentence sticks to your head. But it was in the up-tempo part
towards the end of the song, it happened. When the tempo drops, and the
chugged-like, muted guitar part kicks in at 5:55 I knew I loved this band. That
riff is so simple, but unbelievably cool. And the best was yet to
come.
The second track, “Queen of all Time (Red Giant) is one of the best
songs I’ve heard to date. I don’t know how many times I have spinned it on my
stereo. Everything on this song is perfect. It eventually ended up with me
writing a song for our “Year of the Burial”-album, called “Egypt”, just to pay
homage to this fantastic piece of music. Our “Egypt” spins around almost the
same chord-progression, so hopefully people recognize our nod to the
Fargo-lads.
The next two tracks on Egypt S/T, “Dirty Witch” and “Touch
Ground” are also killer songs, with long and jammy parts, filled with feel good
riffs. Nevertheless it’s the first two songs that did it for me. I simply love
them!
