This is a 13 track album from the band that proclaim that they will ‘never sell out,’ Superjoint Ritual. It has this title to show a Pro-American attitude after all that has gone on in the world lately as many look to America to blame them but the band stand by their country and this album definitely is ‘a lethal dose of American hatred.’ This release is full to the rafters with raw aggression, which is brought to you with strong guitar riffs that are lightning fast and full of energy, drum beats that are so heavy that they probably got through about thirty drum kits in the making of the album and then screaming vocals in a pure, raw punk kind of fashion. This is a really heavy and dark album brought to you by the ex Pantera man, Philip Anselmo and this is a man who seems to be maturing like a fine wine and each record he sings on seems to become increasingly heavier over time and in my humble opinion this is an amazingly great thing to happen! None of these 13 tracks are boring and you are kept excited throughout as the music is raw, shouty (but not stupidly so) and full of aggression that you can take out your own aggression out onto while listening to it and generally going mad to it. It is really fast and it gets you moving around and head-banging to the beat as it is catchier than the Flu and twice as lethal. So when this album comes out on the 21st of July, get your ass down that record shop and buy yourself a copy Mr because if you don’t then you will be missing out on one hell of an album!
