I expected something a bit more novel given Mike
rVennart's previously stellar output. This seems
rlike he Is just copying some of his favourite
rbands of his youth and letting off some steam
post rpandemic. The rraspy shrieksrcut though the
abrasive punk riffs and jack hammer rdrums. I like
the slow smouldering rdistortion of The rLooming
with it's unpredictable, lumbering stride rand
refreshing synth. I'd have liked them to have
rleaned in to more of this side to make it stand
rout more from other noisy rock.rDave Lombardo is
rabsolutely phenomenal in Palms of Hands, one
snare rroll in particular resembling a tornado
wreaking rhavoc. The rHarvest has charming woo woo
woos and a much rneeded call for personal
responsibility at this rtime.rThe guitar in
general is a bit unimaginative, but it's tight
rand rweighty. The bare bones 'Tired, Aye?'
doesn't work rfor me, the rbacking rvocals feel
naked and dont match Lombardo's rintensity.
