Synopsis

Product Description
Putting the POW back in power trio, Verse And Radiation's debut brings the business with mathematic blues riffery, tasteful guitar trickery, and percussion that sounds like it was played on Gods own thunderbolt-firing drum kit. The vocals run the gamut from barbaric howls and raw-throated shrieks to bat-shit rants and chewing snarls..all of which are occasionally abandoned to make way for the dizzying instrumentals. The ass-slashing utensils dont stop there for there's additional keyboard wizardry thrown in here and there to flesh things out a bit..and we all know how zombies feel about flesh. Like a finder's keepers cake stuffed with diamond grills, gold chains, and pimp cups, V/R offers a shining slice of metallic treasure to offset being surrounded by the strangely-hip, sugary-sweetness that fills the metal shelves today.
Crucial Blast review:The Acerbic Noise imprint wows us again with this debut album of mutant thrash from Alabamiods Verse & Raditiation. Rooted in a heavy duty 80s thrash metal foundation, these guys then spiral out into a whole other realm of art-damaged weirdness with one of the most alien sounding thrash albums we've heard since Voivod dropped Nothingface on us back in 89. Seriously. Along The Celestial Ruins features nine blasts of crucial thrash metal power infused with an otherworldy, progressive oddness that reminds us alot of Voivod, but also flexes some mighty chaotic metalcore muscle via their crushing breakdowns, and also factors in a healthy Am Rep/noise rock influence. One of the best debuts we've heard in ages, and the only band besides our very own Microwaves that can dish out this sort of brain blasting sci-fi thrash metal. Gorgeous icy synths underpin sideways math guitars breaking pipes over your head. Demented robo vocals share headspace with total aggro roar. Reference points could include crossover thrash era Corrosion Of Conformity colliding with Dazzling Killmen and Voivod, splattered with art punk chops. Way recommended!
