Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Petrolhead hardcore wrestles with proggy thrash all in the name of an interdimensional Jesus? Skin Failure’s rabid sci-fi crossover riffage is just shit loads of fun; Blowout do the right thing for support (as always), with Benzo Queen’s unhinged synthcore tantrums and Screaming Doll’s gruff’n’groovy desert grunge. Face-melter FFO: Municipal Waste, Every Time I Die, Wasted Death, Petbrick."
