[ BACK ]   [ MAIN ]

The second act of Soul Destruction is thrust upon us, and like the first, it takes pleasure in using a blunt instrument to perform microsurgery on your thoughts.  Here they create further narratives of life’s experiences, which are transported by a machinery of sound marking a welcome return of their especially unique style.

Just two songs that unify well paced industrialised rhythms, murderously distracted vocals and crushing metal guitars. “Internal Therapy” and “The Sorrow” glide on a smouldering intensity which is preserved with open spaces of atmospheric clarity and flanked with a shadowy darkness.

The songs are more riff based, vivacious, coming across a little more conventional this time around and there's less use of keyboards, however it still carries that trademark melancholy ambience albeit somehow differently (but not inferior) to the first EP.

These two tracks show a smooth continuation and measured development of a band that like to offer you an emotive and passionate listening experience.  It will be very interesting to see them take on the challenge of a full length album and something that should be totally engrossing.  But for now there’s "A Lifetime Of Dependency" and the sound of another soul being destroyed...
