In Search of...B Sides: Echoes of the Plenetary Death Machine...

(Self-issued)



Fantastical Psychobilly reflected in smashed mirror-shards. The collected songs are said to represent five relative bands from the 1980s to 2016. What they share is uncanny: stuttered guitar flailings, hot pepper percussion that skitters unstoppably, and a whimsical sense of morbidity. Shoutings resound against otherworldliness. Bass delineates form. Fused into eerie amalgamation, all are propelled through starry, miles-high vistas at inhumanly adrenalized velocities. Novel adventurings constitute delectable bizarritude. And the Lord Acton cameo...

But that's only a partial portrait. Elsewhere are brutal volleys of more bottom-dollar Psycho character. Those reduce to smithereens everything dumb enough to stumble into their breakneck paths.

It is the contrast between strangely daring voyages and reliable pulverizings that locates this on a high shelf. 

Recommended: "Planetary Death," "Erosion Crisis," "Gaia's Revenge," "Die With You, Die With Me," "This Is the End"
