Putting the POW back in power trio, Verse And Radiation's debut brings the business with mathematic blues riffery, tasteful guitar trickery, and percussion that sounds like it was played on God's own thunderbolt-firing drum kit. The vocals run the gamut from barbaric howls and raw-throated shrieks to bat-shit rants and chewing snarls...all of which are occasionally abandoned to make way for the dizzying instrumentals. The ass-slashing utensils dont stop there for there's additional keyboard wizardry thrown in here and there to flesh things out a bit...and we all know how zombies feel about flesh. Like a finder's keepers cake stuffed with diamond grills, gold chains, and pimp cups, V/R offers a shining slice of metallic treasure to offset being surrounded by the strangely-hip, sugary-sweetness that fills the metal shelves today.
Mastered by John Golden (Neurosis / Craw / Sonic Youth).

I am musically crushed. You guys are one of the most talented groups of musicians that I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. I hope to hear all of you in future musical endeavors. You guys truly were the fire.
