Co-released by Riot Season(UK) and Echodelick Records (USA), Artifacts & Uranium returns with all parts intact and the addition of their Japanese counterpart, Mitsuru Tabata. This release hits hard with groovy bass lines, screaming guitars, and relentless rhythms. At times, the music falls somewhere between space-rock and all-out noise. Right from the outset of “Yatevo,” the walking bass groove lays the foundation for the sonic maelstrom of the guitars, which will persist throughout the six tracks. “Life In The Air Raid” threatens to tear a hole in the time-space continuum. Again, propelled by the relentless bass. The album never really lets up, but for the slight dub intro to “My Dark Places.” Be ready for the noise; this one is a banger. Although it threatens to go over the edge, the album walks that fine line of control and lack thereof.
Sold out at Riot Season, available from Echodelick Records
