��� Here's the second new Beastmilk reissue that just came out from the band's US label Magic Bullet, a new version of the Finnish post-punk outfit's first actual 7" release that came out on Svart back in 2012. Use Your Deluge was the second release from these apocalyptic Helsinki gloom-punks, following up their acclaimed self-released cassette with four more songs of incredibly catchy, sinister music that references everything from Joy Division to Sisters Of Mercy to Danzig, while ultimately crafting a dark driving sound of their own. These tracks are still among my favorites from the band, and did more than merely foreshadow the brilliant songwriting and elegant, icy aggression of their debut album Climax; the caliber of songwriting here is just as high, tracks like "Void Mother", "Forever Animal", "Red majesty" and especially the thoroughly rousing "Children Of The Atom Bomb" all showcasing Beastmilk's perfect hybrid of Danzig-esque darkness and propulsive, rocking post-punk edged with a slight metallic bite. Every one of these songs is wound around a maddeningly catchy hook, drums slipping seamlessly between pounding tribal drumming and that soaring sinister momentum, lush ice-encrusted guitar melodies winding around the coolly detached delivery of Mat McNerney (of Code / Hexvessel / D�dheimsgard fame)'s crooning lead vocals, a perfect accompaniment to Beastmilk's heavy endtime anthems. Highly recommended.
