82. Nails - "Every Bridge Burning"

Nails made a name for themselves last decade as a triad of almighty accelerated noise. They took the term unlistenable and absolutely inhabited it. This is their first record since they returned from their 2016 hiatus. Those who reveal in their nihilistic noise will be pleased to know that nothing has changed. It is still 101 miles an hour hurtle through impenetrable dirge. The guitars scream, the vocals scream the whole thing is like sticking your head into a food processor. But this is extraordinarily enticing because of its sheer brutality. It is brimming with kinetic and vital energy and its sense of almighty purpose just burns out of it. Noise but bloody lovely noise.
