Album Review: Boris The Blade - Warpath

StarStarStar

"Boris The Blade are the soundtrack to your next broken nose."

More Boris The Blade Boris The Blade

Surely the heaviest outfit to derive their moniker from Snatch, Boris The Blade are the soundtrack to your next broken nose.

The Melbourne tech-death squad's penchant for frenetic blast-a-thons remains but, although hardly revolutionary, even nondescript at times, eschewing a degree of breakneck speed for dark, brooding atmosphere pays dividends. Growler Daniel Sharp previously needed to exhibit more subtle delivery variations. He's upped his game, boasting a more potent mid-range especially. Meanwhile, Thy Art Is Murder vocalist CJ McMahon lends another caustic edge to Misery. If Warpath's mission statement was to pummel all and sundry one punishing groove at a time, consider said goal accomplished.
