   About THE HANDSHAKE MURDERS
 





The opening bars of 'Dissector,' the first track on Arkansas' The Handshake Murders debut, will have you double-taking the CD credits wondering whether Sean Ingram has a new band, so similar is the visceral scream of THM frontman Jayson Holmes to the unmistakable tones of the erstwhile Coalesce vocalist. Musically, however, THM are a more technical proposition than Coalesce's dirt-laden grooves, a cross between the shape-shifting, clinical mathematics of A Life Once Lost and Norma Jean's staccato noise. And yes, the overall effect is thoroughly engaging. 'Usurper' proves to be an unexpected gem, the spiralling bounce of 'Mind Bender' summoning a Meshuggah-esque groove to underpin Holmes' freociously unrelenting vocals. A surprising and refreshing album then, and a find for those preferring their noise to come with a brain matching its brawn.

I'm dying for a status update on the new record guys. So, that said, how is coming along? Is it going to melt ears across the nation and cause faces to implode from the sheer aural ferocity?
