Dragged Into Sunlight – Widowmaker (2012)

March 11, 2021

Widowmaker is – unfortunately – a disappointing followup to the all out carnage that was presented to us on Hatred For Mankind. Even today, it is hard to find such a densely evil recording. One could argue that the bar was set too high by the band’s debut, but there was a myriad of different ways their intense and meandering sound could have progressed. Sadly, a lot of Widowmaker is boring where instead it should be introspective, and the heavy parts never really meet the heights of what came before.

I’m glad I went back to this after so many years since its release, and I absolutely love Dragged Into Sunlight in general, but this one was a bit of a miss-step.
