HELLGRAMMITE


These sounds might be more professional that the usual Escape fare, and based on my own description I might find myself shying away from Washington's HELLGRAMMITE, but initial perceptions be damned and II is an absolute killer. The weight is enough on its own to keep most of you well engaged, but then release yourself into the world of guitars...as excessive as they are progressive, somehow these kids manage to avoid complete pretension and instead present themselves as an advanced powerhouse. A crushing abyss in four movements, I will take the lazy way out and describe this cassette as a combination of KYLESA, LOST GOAT and BOTCH.
