The Heads are Zeros
All The Men I Love Are Dead



Release Date: 2014 | Tracklist


The Heads are Zeros are a female fronted grind band from Baltimore, Maryland. Playing a style of grind reminiscent of The Sawtooth Grin but much noisier and less technical, The Heads are Zeros rip through this five track EP with all the ferocity that 3 people can humanly muster. A cacophony of throat tearing screams courtesy of Olivia Henry dominates the record, which considering its only about 7 and a half minutes long, is a whole lot of screaming. Thankfully , Olivia’s screams are a force of nature when combined with the drummer’s flurry of blastbeats and the somewhat disturbing lyrics she seems to have come up with, making up for the repetitiveness and lack of diversity of her vocals. Sharp, technical guitar work adds a perverse, menacing and generally chaotic feel to the EP (think a less high pitched early Daughters) that seems to blast in and out between dissonance and feedback. Speaking of which, dissonance is used to great effect here. A lot of bands use dissonance as a blanket in a clumsy attempt to make everything more chaotic and heavier, but here it’s used to break between the furious onslaughts, similar to how some bands use silence as pause. Overall “All The Men I Love Are Dead” is a short and sweet chunk of furious grind that should satisfy anyone's craving for chaos.

Do what I do and add 2 paragraphs of poetic nonsense and throw in an irrelevant personal anecdote for good measure

Good review @Mort, but personally I think it's a bit of a stretch giving this a 4. Now I wanna change my Cage G.N review to a 4.5. Still glad you reviewed this or else I'd probably never have heard it

@decay - that review is overlong though.

If you don't have a whole lot to say about an album then why babble on and spread yourself thin for 4-6 paragraphs? Short 1-2 para reviews have their place, and it's fitting for an EP like this one
