‘The system works for one not three, An end in sight, I cannot see…Manufactured disparity, You are you, And I’m not me’ (Blood Soaked System)

Following last year’s fierce debut EP, Can You See The Future?, Phoenix’s Yellowcake are back with another six tracks of rampant d-beat and, if anything, the intensity has been dialled up yet another notch.  The guitars continue to balance cleaner, thrashier riffs with discordant wall of noise eruptions and squalling solos, while the relentless, cymbal awash drums yield moments of satisfying deftness amid the wider onslaught.  Rasping, delay saturated vocals explore themes of war, entrenched privilege, and unfolding environmental catastrophe with a desperate urgency.  Stand-out moments include the absolutely searing Maelstrom, the swaggering Blood Soaked System, and the unhinged When Night Comes.
