Vivid Atmosphere - Hag-Ridden FLAC

"Puppets" is a large. driving, energetic thing with the attitude, although not the sound, of early Punk. It's a simple enough riff with a white noise synth driving it onwards - ragged-assed, mean & meaty, it soon sinks it's hooks into the listener. "Amnesia" has a large, almost Rock Opera intro soon settling into an adrenal motoring thrash-out thing with deep Goth vox. It's a real rip-snorter of a track, catchy, danceable (if you're a hypertensive Dervish) and actually quite exciting to listen to. "Hag-Ridden" kicks along with equal driving energy, a forceful ton-up berzerker dance track with bass & guitar creating a wall like solid brick tsunami while the drums thunder, stout & manic with the vocalist surprisingly melodic against the hot anger of the music. "Dream's Called" slows down the pace to a more mainstream Rock sound, inflicting it with raw hot flails of grunge-like energy.
They fall into an area which should please many tastes - from Punk to Goth to Grunge to sub-Thrash Metal. they have drive, form & the ability to put decent songs together.
