Justin Broadrick is a hero to legions of underground fans - has been for decades. I, for one, may not have given this album a listen if his name wasn't attached. Sorry for that pointless aside but I bristled at JB getting called an unknown artist.
On to the main point..great fu@king album! Ever since Jesu was born I've been convinced that Broadrick is a messianic figure in music and this is more proof. It's so rare that musicians get older and continually impress me more than they did in their youth but Broadrick is apparently blessed with magic.
Not to detract from the rest of the contributors to the album. The whole thing is just so satisfying. I love it when any music makes me feel angry, depressed and joyously uplifted all at the same time. this album does that.
So thanks, Pete, for making me take note. With that band name and cover art I may have passed this by assuming its a crappy metalcore album or something. Instead, it's now one of my favorite albums of the year
