V/A
Psycho In the Street Vol #3
(Vicious Mistress Records)

Irrespective of raiment or aspect, coffin-splintering psycho in its essence is anger turned up. To the topmost level. It can rocket upward, veer in lateral carom, dive-bomb toward netherworldly consequence, or cruise ghostly boulevards with slitted eyes.

But even when in rare, seeming repose, it calculates crazily. And it never, ever says no to a good time.

Explored here to arresting effect are the monster-music's diverse and impellent moods: Smash-down belligerence, off-balance ribaldry, drag-out devastation, and on-all-fours, full-moon baying.

There're even sinister streaks that amuse. Listen for them.
