9. Car Bomb – “Mordial”

Like Code Orange last year, Car Bomb have managed to create an album that is aggressive, inventive which constantly surprises. The tracks continually evolve, jagged juddering riffs give way to sudden shifts in tempo and style. You just have no idea where any of the songs are actually going. They morph mid listen and slow down and or speed up unexpectedly. It is bewildering at time but the level of creativity is staggering. Each and every song challenges conventional song structures and rhythmic patterns, as a listener you are constantly aware that it may be a shift in texture at any given moment. Disarming but staggeringly good.
