Review by: Alex Deller
Good solid lump of rock gnarl here. The vox evoke the rasp of black metal while the lumpy, straight-ahead riffing seems to draw from noise-rock and sludge without coming down hard on either side of the divide. It’s well played and well constructed while largely lacking any sense of art or desire for experimentation – traits that would doom countless other riffslingers to bland mediocrity but seem to endow Cruickshank with a bold, blunt singularity of purpose.
