Newjack tech metallers Graf Orlock may be all hip and happening, liberally sprinkle their songs with action movie samples and have OTT packaging that suggests they’re more style over substance, but you can’t deny the fact that they totally rock the Casbah! Ghostlimb are a trio spawned from the Graf, and if anything, they’re even better. The same chunky, catchy riffs abound, but there are less of the sudden shifts in tempo, thus making Ghostlimb a more direct, harder punk hardcore hit. The singer here is the backup guy from GO, and personally I prefer his hoarser, less shrill roar, so that’s an added bonus. This one-sided LP also comes very nicely presented, with an etching on the flip and a medieval motif screened on thick card.
