Album Review: State Faults - Resonate/Desperate

Pete Laurie

Sometimes repetitive, but always relentless, aggressive and unflinching, Resonate / Desperate makes sure you'll be feeling the effects for a while after listening.

 

With opening track Meteor,Resonate/Desperate is already going faster than full speed. State Faults aren't trying to ease the listener in. The blistering guitars, explosive drumming and throat-obliterating screams are the perfect start, letting you know exactly what you're about to be assaulted by for the next 38 minutes. Whether "assaulted" is a positive or negative is totally up to the listener. Sometimes repetitive, but always relentless, aggressive and unflinching, Resonate / Desperate makes sure you'll be feeling the effects for a while after listening.
