These dudes’ music is still among the most unique things in the current crop of blackened and vaguely dungeon-themed punk bands with their uncharacteristically death rock- and post punk-informed take on the genre, even if some of their more recent releases struck me as a bit spotty and directionless. Well, direction is definitively less of an issue here, after their previous Cerebral EP marked kind of a return to form whose increasingly catchy, melodic flourishes get expanded upon here even though things may get a bit overstretched and uneven in the middle part, resulting a record thad kinda reflects their discography as a whole – starting with a bang, losing the plot a bit in the middle before steadily working its way back up to greatness towards the finale… which is basically the same trajectory as Twin Peaks season two for whatever that’s worth. Damn, it makes me wonder how Annie’s doing these days.
