Now the Seattle-based sonic wrecking crew returns with the second part of their double album series \u003ci\u003eHouse of Shock\u003c\/i\u003e, another volatile collision of furious riffs, soaring melodies, Eastern European musical traditions, and the kind of musical chaos that has earned them a dedicated international cult fanbase.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLed by Bosnian-born frontman Gino Yevdjevich, Kultur Shock has spent decades refusing to fit comfortably into anybody's musical filing cabinet. Their music can go from a traditional Balkan melody to a face-melting metal riff, from punk-rock fury to heartbreaking beauty, often within the same song. To describe Kultur Shock’s style and sound, people usually refer to Gogol Bordello, System of a Down. Dubioza Koletiv, Manu Chao, The Pogues, or Band of Four but none of that does the band justice, because Kultur Shock’s sound and approach to music is in a league of their own.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eHouse of Shock\u003c\/i\u003e continues that tradition while showing a band that has never been particularly interested in standing still.
