Once again Salisbury alt-rock monsters Middlenamekill land us with a full album.

Never any messing around with these guys, it is long format or nothing it seems, even if it takes forever to arrive -predecessor When Lions Fight Bears was released over 4 years ago! But, the wait is more than worth it as this is another superb album, well-crafted and very much nurtured into existence.  Like the previous record it is loaded with killer melodies, huge hooks and massive riffs. Loaded to such an extent in fact it is reminiscent of what I imagine having a kung fu fist fight with a naked Scarlett Johansson is like – leaving you battered and bruised but oh so happy and elated. Whilst there is nothing as immediate as Eject Eject Eject or In the House Of The Witch, this a more consistent, developed record and something that if life was fair would propel these guys upa musical division or two.
