The Greek Gothers nailed it with 2011’s The Twin Moons, and this 15-track Superstition EP continues the distorted whispers, frantic beats, and industrial chaos.
Distant, echoey vocal roar (punctuated by Gandalfian spoken bits), but there’re no real vocal dynamics like the latest Finntroll and Korpiklaani releases.
Thrash metal, pure and simple. Battlecross wastes no time ripping your face off with polka beats and riffs in thirds (Slayer, Dark Angel, everyone since).
Plastic Makes Perfect is a great album title, but Jennifer Parkin is no stranger to great looks, writing styles, titles, cover art, and, of course, songs.
I liked the glammified sounds used to spice up 2005’s Are You Dead Yet?, but most fans felt the opposite, so the next two COB albums dialed up the brutality.
Cold, classic EBM with distorted vocals, news samples, plenty of trance-inducing repetition, and harsh keyboards replacing the crunch of “metal guitars.”
