Fax Arcana |

Featuring former members of Burn it Down, Usurp Synapse, Ice Nine and Rapider Than Horsepower, Fax Arcana abandon the expected throat shredding vocals for a more melodic approach. The result is razor sharp guitar work, machine-like rhythms and vocals that lean more toward soulful than screaming. Yes, there is singing here, but don't believe for a moment that this record should be filed next to The Promise Ring. Fax Arcana's sound is urgent, angular, churning, and much too dark for the too easily tear-jerked crowd that spends rainy Sundays sipping tea and playing with their cats. Think Bobby Knight throwing a chair, without the verbal abuse. For fans of VSS, Clikitat Ikatowi, Nation of Ulysses, Unwound and people who just like shaking their ass a bit. |
