White Suns – Dead Time

Extreme rock music, like hardcore punk or metal, has always been a really compelling genre to us. Most who participate are expected to only add to a tradition. There are a few bands, however, who use these styles to mold something entirely different. White Suns to us is one of those bands, where the line between metal, noise, abstract sound blend cohesively. Here they hone the tortuous sprawl into a concentrated batch of mutant synth punk. Blown-out drums thrash against walls of noise, all sinking into shadowy pulses and feedback. The friction exudes frustration, explosion, and finishes with catharsis. An excellent release from a band that in our opinion are often underrated despite the quality of their output.
