Flock of Seagulls - String Theory - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Swedish death metal veterans Pantokrator finally grant us their fourth studio album after six long years of writing, riffing and perfecting. Pantokrator embodies their moniker by reigning miles above the likes of their metallic peers melding aggression, technique, and musical prowess. With calm, serene and ethereal instrumentation clashing with their proclivity to punish the listener with moments of backbending, spine-shredding brutality.InchA new world is born as the old one dies; not by flood, but by burning skies.Inch

Picasso claimed that the purpose of art is to wash the Inchdust of daily life off our souls.Inch Homeboy Sandman asks on Dusty, InchWhy would I complain when I'm alive making art?Inch In the course of his Mello Music debut, the Queens virtuoso answers himself with 15 soul-assessing confessionals that sweep the entropy and daily static, the distortion and psychic silt of modern life onto wax. This is sacred dust, alchemical practice to convert anxiety into the highest form of creativity. It is rapping ass-rapping rapped better than your favorite rapper. Let Sandman tell it the sound is dusty. These bars are his id. He's not trying to save the world on this record or even save himself. These are the unmasked impulses and desires locked away for a long time - some of them from before he ditched the legal world for decapitating mediocre MCs. On Dusty, he says Inch I unlocked myself and let them out - dusted them off - for better or for worse.Inch
