BONE AWL  Not For Our Feet  LP   (Klaxon)   15.98
Not For Our Feet IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

One of the latest vinyl reissues from the mysterious black metal duo known as Bone Awl, Not For Our Feet is a nine song album recorded in 2004 which had originally been released on cassette, then reissued on vinyl through Nuclear War Now, and now re-reissued through the band's very own Klaxon imprint. I can't get enough of Bone Awl's raw, blown out blackened punk, and this record serves up some of the most hardcore-tinged jams that we've heard from them, simplistic and thrashing, almost bordering on d-beat style crust at times but unmistakeably black metal in spirit. Songs go from super blown-out Discharge hardcore assaults with blazing primitive two-or-three chord riffs to ferocious blackened blastbeats and messy chaotic guitars, everything distorted and noisy, the harsh screeching vocals dripping strange mystical lyrics. Crude, brutal black thrashscuzz with a relentless approach to hammering their repetitive riffs into your skull like rusted nails, like Bathory and Darkthrone fused with primal UK hardcore in a barbaric cyclone of trance inducing intensity. This new version features a rad monochromatic jacket with all new artwork that looks like it was created through some heavy Xerox abuse, and comes with a photocopied insert sheet that contains all of the lyrics.
