STRAPPING
YOUNG
LAD
–
The
New
Black
On this,
their
latest
sonic
attack,
this
talented
extreme
music
powerhouse
takes
us on
another
one
of their
unique
journeys
into
a balance
of melodic
control
and
touching
the
outer
reaches
of intensity.
The
trademark
epic
SYL
sound
occasionally
makes
way
for
a more
straight
forward
hard
rock
/ metal
approach.
Frontman
Devon
can
pull
the
most
extreme
and
melodic
vocals
that’ll
make
Tom
Araya,
Dani
Filth,
Bruce
Dickinson
and
Corey
Taylor
collectively
soil
their
trousers.
New-
or old
school
metal,
he can
do it
all.
Far
Beyond
Metal
and
Fucker
is an
ode
to this
undying
extreme
music
form
and
the
sad
state
of the
artificial
music
industry.
These
two
songs
also
include
guest
singers
Oderus
Urungus
and
Bif
Naked.
Break-up
moments
also
become
the
focal
point
on the
way
less
hardcore
Almost
Again
(but
beware
the
bursts
of speed
and
power).
The
track
Polyphony
reflects
a similar,
less
hectic
approach.
Things
even
get
a little
experimental
on occasion
with
horns
thrown
in.
The
line-up
(unchanged
since
the
second
album,
City),
is joined
here
by Willie
Campagna
on keyboards
and
samples.
PS.
The
latest
Gwar
album
was
produced
by Mr.
Townsend!
