Mad Sin

Dead Moon's Calling

(Rebellion Records)

Again populating shop bins is a 2005 People Like You release, whose echo offers something special: an opportunity to appreciate the German malcontent spectacles in early cocoon. (Sailor's Grave also once reissued this.)

In a giddily skewed, uncanny dimension, rampageous ventures are torn off by leathery quiff-topped cacodemons with sideways senses of humor. Not knowing whether to laugh, spin crazily, or scream for all of Creation to hear, savoring victims settle upon all three.
