Another crusty EP makes its way on to the stereo, wrenching itself from a remote basement of doom. Very much trapped in an '80s bubble this type of prehistoric metal has become very nostalgic as metalheads around the world search for trips back into memory lane - although it's unlikely that the seething long haired hordes would have experienced such a neolithic creak! The plodding Jack The Ripper-inspired 'Whitechapel' and slightly more fiery 'Portrait Of...' make for an entertaining listen, hell, the occasional buzzsaw riff and rasped vocal even reminds me remotely of old Exodus, but it's so fleeting, and only remains hypnotic in the sense one would be grappling their way through dense fog!Wednesday 28 December 2011
