Trap Them – Blissfucker (2014)

January 9, 2023

This was never really my thing but I caught Trap Them live at Roadburn festival many many moons ago and that cemented them in my head as a formidable musical force. Bliss Fucker, I guess, is a good example as any of the band’s dense, buzzsaw-worship sound. Sure, it’s not completely derivative Entombed-core, but the inclusion of the HM2 pedal always sets a tone (pun intended) about how a release will be received by me.

Technically brilliant and very well made stuff, but not an album that scratches every itch (maybe I should see a doctor about that).
