Where exactly do I start to review an album where I\u2019m hearing something new whenever I play it, something that spikes my interest repeatedly, yet it\u2019s difficult (yet hopefully not impossible) to put my finger on exactly what that something is with each new play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what about I start with a quick back story whilst I try to collect my thoughts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evil Blizzard are a six piece from Preston, who not only have multiple bass players within their ranks but also wear masks in all their publicity shots and when they play live. Their fourth studio record \u2018Death Songs & Lullabies\u2019 is being released via Crackedankles Records on March 27th<\/sup> 2026 and it\u2019s this record that has me (almost) lost for words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Well where better to start than with album opener \u2018Off With Their Heads\u2019, it\u2019s a track that opens (and closes) with a simple beat box rhythm that wouldn\u2019t be out of place on a Sleaford Mods record that segues into a mystical PIL meets Hawkwind riff before finally erupting into a furious onslaught that is equal parts Rammstein and Killing Joke, and that\u2019s all within the first four minutes and thirty six seconds of the LP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
