Creepjoint

Kill the Head is one of the early 21st century's best hard-rock albums, and few know it exists. The latest project from mad genius Tim Harrington, cofounder of Masters of Reality, Creepjoint plays electroid death-rock bubbling with preternatural rage and a profound cynicism for humanity. Harrington is a master of art pop, as well as a producer well versed in warped sound effects. This is simply a stunning -- if often challenging --chunk of freakery. Dig the title track's pummeling onslaught.
