Asmodeus is a chaotic combination of free jazz and noise rock. Marc Ribot plays guitar, Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk) bass, and G. Calvin Weston (who has played with Ornette Coleman) is on drums. The record runs together a bit, but the playing is spirited and technically astounding. There are a host of phenomenal tracks, too ("Kalmiya," "Dagiel," "Sensenya"), that alleviate the issue. Asmodeus is a whirlwind of a record, and one of the best Book of Angels installments yet.
