Everyday my soul is sucked out of my body through a cavity in my chest. A cimmerian pit, ever widening, with gripping hands tearing everything away. The requisite comportment this place demands twists me into something less than human. I fear that I’ll slowly become more and more like them. And maybe that’s the goal? To remake us all in their image. Systematically assimilated. Stripped and stymied. Resigned to getting by with just enough.
Wow. I did not expect violin and cello from a crust band.

This album is an absolute banger. The riffs are especially groovy this time, the vocals are amazing, and the overall thing is supercatchy. If I'd have to list one downside, it's that the mix is so bass-heavy that the sound only truely comes into it's right when listened on good headphones or extremely good speakers. On anything less it can sound like the bass drowns the rest of the music out. 9/10 Buzzario
