House of Low Culture ~ Poisoned Soil
Sustained, low level reverberations can often damage a structure more than sudden savagery. On Poisoned Soil, the walls take a while to crumble, as former Isis guitarist and current Hydra Head boss Aaron Turner applies a Machiavellian restraint. It’s not

Scissors and Sellotape ~ …For the Tired And Ill At Ease…

Good Weather For An Airstrike ~ Underneath The Stars
