Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Asmodeus: Book of Angels Volume 7' features American guitarist Marc Ribot interpreting compositions from John Zorn's Masada Book Two. Backed by bassist Trevor Dunn and drummer G. Calvin Weston, the trio delivers aggressive, noise-inflected renditions of Zorn's klezmer-inspired melodies. The recording session effectively bridges the gap between frenetic downtown jazz and heavy experimental rock.
