Tyranny is Tyranny - Let It Come From Whom It May

Russell and Jason from the sadly missed United Sons

Of Toil are back, simpler and heavier with the band

Tyranny Is Tyranny.

Influenced by the 90's Am Rep sound but also drawing inspiration

from post-rock/metal hybrids like Cult of Luna and Fall of Efrafa,

the music is full of open dynamics and rawness that thanks to

the crystal clear production, enable you to hear every note.

The vocals are low in the mix and vary between shouts, yelps,

croons, threats and shouts which suit the political lyrics. The tracks

are for the most, mid-paced, meaning they do not get lost in a

flurry of mad trash.

There is unreleased tension in the song dynamics - this can

sometimes reach unbearable peaks before the circular riffs

are unleashed to a climax. There are a lot of minor chords used

that, certainly to my ears, bring in musical motifs of sadness and

regret - these provide an effective mood enhancer for when the

anger and bile start to seep through the tracks.

This is an accomplished and confident start from a band that

have produced one of the best noise rock albums of the year - 

full of intelligence, fire and passion.

Recommended.
