Morbid Angel meets Strapping Young Lad wrestling Meshuggah.

It’s a ‘clean’ sounding rock record, with minimal attention placed on fuzzed-out guitars, the focus instead on songwriting and sound textures, leaving the blind aggression of his past behind.

Everything metal should be.

A chilled alternative for those that like their music heavy.

What you've come to expect, but that's no bad thing.

Traces is a very personal, intimate collection of songs that will impress fans of Barker’s previous work and any newcomers.

Cancer 4 Cure may not shock as immediately as its predecessor, but El-P’s newfound precision may actually mean it will be remembered more kindly in the long run.

The true genius of Pasted Youth isn’t to highlight how stick-out-like-a-sore-thumb these kids were, but how energetic, fucked up and altogether fun Clag still are today.
