Following up their well-received The Gallows (2017), New York City's anarcho-deathrock hybrid Pawns return with three new tracks. Against the landscape drawn up by '80s-influenced post-punk, Pawns exchange full-on punk rage for a gloomy animosity by exploring dark and desperate melodies. Bass-heavy rhythms and choral guitar tones are topped off by vocalist Gage Allison's ominous baritone vocals in a rich maelstrom of bleak gothic punk. 300 gram card sleeve with spine and lyric insert.
