Publicist UK - Forgive Yourself (Relapse Records) 2015
7
Much like Meethook Seed before it so this band baffles fans because what can you expect when you have members and ex-members of Revocation, Municipal Waste in the same band? A Death / Thrash metal hybrid? Nothing could be farther from the truth because what you have here is a tribute to the late seventies and early eighties British New Wave and Post Punk bands. This coming from an American band makes the sound of this record even more unusual, but still believe it or not these guys pull it off. And they do it with the style, flair and panache missing from most of their British counterparts. This is not a record for the regular metal fan, if you are expecting speed and technical wizardry you must look elsewhere. But if you at least are intrigued with me premise you should give this record a spin or two.
