Labels: Trujaca Fala – Vendetta
Review by: Kunal Nandi
Comfortably filed away in the cobwebbed vaults of my brain as a sort of middling crust band that happen to really dig Neurosis, I’m suddenly having to reassess Insuiciety because this new album is all sorts of great. Straight from the off, I was floored by totally righteous, fist-pumping stoner riffs, surprisingly bluesy in their approach, with a warmer sound selected rather than the usual blast of numbing, overly harsh distortion. The general air of depression in the minor chord progressions and the female singer’s tastefully implemented yelling add a dark hardcore vibe to proceedings, which makes for an unusual but not unwelcome mix. With five fairly lengthy tracks, it’s doesn’t outstay its welcome either. Think Kylesa, only far more crunchily satisfying.
