TWIN

Total euphoric stop/start freekmetal hypnotix for the neo underpunx caste. Oof! The future is now & TWIN (nee The King Cobra) is already beyond...who's gonna come up with a name for this stuff? Ray & Ghost cough up a dense, messy spew of prog-punk, post-wave, & massive, downtuned sludgy psych, while a nimbus of baroque avant-metal gods hurl sweet poison riffs from above. Truly blissed-out! But how can two people make so much racket? Incredibly, TWIN's live assault is even wilder--heaving drums, hall-of-mirrors guitar, dueling vocals shrieked then purred then howled amid mystic bleeps & blurps, a fast-forward VR epic come to life: spastic then dirgelike, hushed then pounding, fevered, staggered, then suddenly gloriously air-punchingly triumphant. Radical!
