“New Colony,” is fuzz heaven, with a biting and slightly chafing riff coming in hot off the press for full throttle. “Read Death,” snarls into being, changing the tone and the pace quite abruptly before bringing things back with a clanger. “Bay Area Cult,” makes things fascinating, changing it up with a twist here, and a bite there. “Third Veil,” snaps back and twists the clock into something similar to a seance. “Merrin,” beats the living day lights out of the listener ensuring that they are hooked onto the simple melodies that meld together into a wider much more vibrant picture. “Marked Cross,” takes another heave and a ho before delivering a thunderous performance.
“Dead Calm,” takes the cake, shovelling the power and the might into one powerful organic sludgefest for all time. “The Upward Turn,” changes things slightly and goes full pelt, taking no prisoners and ensuring everyone is fully up to date on the madness. “Pacino,” is a swaggering tribute to insanity. “Monaco,” drives things through the upward shift and ensures there’s no let down on the swinging barrage. “Greenwater Manifesto,” takes it up a notch slowly delivering a shimmering bite. “Cardinal,” closes things off with powerful displays of aggression and might.
The album is out on 15th August via Sludgelord Records.
