INCOMING SECTION. Unscene Rising stars waiting to explode
review by the wonderful Natasha Scharf.
KO Kaine have both wit and talent. They also prove Wakefield isn't just a miserable old industrial city that's better known for its church choirs than Hammer- friendly tunage. Unlike a number of other british hard-core bands - Ghost of a thousand included- these yorkshire boys prefer to leave the "ee-by-glum" in favour of some good old fashioned sleaze.
K.O.KAINE mix screamo with melodic rock and some gloriously self-indulgent Motorhead-esque riffage. at times they sound like Fear Factory and at others, more like Cancer bats- an odd mixture that is suprisingly palatable and always unpretentious. And quite frankly any band that lists Motley Crue, deftones and Danzig among their favourite bands is just begging to be heard.
Natasha Scharf Metal Hammer
Is the second album release from dark rockers K.o.kaine and offers up ten loud and in your face tracks which centre largely around an industrial hardcore influenced sound. Opening track we are the dead starts as a sombre number before exploding into a combination of manic guitars and screeching vocals. The rippling guitar intro of woman butterflys snakes makes it the perfect single choice with differing sections of the song making use of pleasing melodic vocals. This is certainly not an album for the light hearted and the sinister to the gallows is proof of that with its angry in your face guitar work. A rare quieter moment on the release is tired of the revolution which reveals a more tuneful funkier side to the band. The mayhem ends with look at yourself a seriously heavy track. Its an interesting release with moments of brilliance. If aggressive dark spooky music takes your fancy play to ghost could be right up your alley

3/5
“Play To Ghosts” is an album chock full of devilish grooves and great individual performances and musically it’s modern and deserves the tag of contemporary metal. It’s an album that deserves the description of “all killers and no fillers” and the band can feel justly proud of their newest creation
