O’Death – Broken Hymns, Limbs And Skin


Broken hymns… a title that covers the load! On their latest album, this bunch of drunks sounds as if they put the old testament in the blender and then started pasting the pieces back together while getting high on the glue in the process.
O’Death hooked up with Alex Newport (Fudge Tunnel, Nailbomb) for this one and it resulted in a chaotic mess where beauty shines through every once in a while (“Home”). That chaotic mess is pretty addictive as well – it’s like listening to a couple of psychotics trying to play bluegrass after having listened to nasty punkrock for 36 hour straight – but I can’t help but wonder that I’ve heard it all before after just a couple of tracks. Doesn’t mean that opener “Lowtide” or “Legs To Sin” didn’t thoroughly kick my ass!
Fans of Two Gallants and Gogol Bordello should give this disc a spin though.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
