Dumper are a three-piece band (a so-called 'power trio') hailing from Italy. There's this rasping voice, those 'yeahs' and choruses designed to be shouted by a whole crew of drunk bikers? We're definitely in typical hard-rock territory! There's quite a small problem, however: the vocals manage to be both great and catastrophic. Eddie Cantoni's voice has the hard-rock vibe for sure, this raw, whisky-abused tone that's just classical. But his singing drag everything down as soon as it gets slower... There's no energy, not unlike a 60 years old guy who's totally burned out. OK, OK, I exaggerate a bit, but not as much as I'd like to. Check the title track and its "It's the rise... of the mammoth... Yeaaah!" Then tell me it's not pathetic. On the other hand, the rare high-pitched parts fit nicely (like in "Volts"). Instruments-wise, the drumming's nice, the bass is catchy and powerful, the riffing is cool, the solos are hard-rocking great, no critics to be made, really... But they all manage to be lame on the aforementioned "Rise Of The Mammoth". The song is indeed really cohesive, the guitars lack energy because they follow the tired and pitiful vocals.
