Reviewed: 2018-04-11 Genre: General FCCs: none Review: Saying that this band packs a punch would be an understatement. Coupled with the artistically inclined improvisational motifs, and a program that sparks vivid imagery, Wingfield's guitar voicings often cast foreboding intentions, due to his punishing sustain-driven notes and devastating crunch chords. He also elicits a doomsday environ via his unorthodox phraseology, suggesting that voices from the netherworld are guiding his trajectory. The trio goes for the gusto from start to finish, throttling tempos and various sound-shaping spectrums.
