Modern Rituals - This Is the History

Bristol via London based noise-rock crew Modern Rituals' second album. Armed with a far more dense low-end alongside their unsettlingly angular melodies, this sophomore effort simmers with a restless verve in its tonal marriage of the gentle and the grimy. Tracks such as 'The Bull Never Wins' and stunning closer 'Jutting Chin' brings to mind Fugazi or The Jesus Lizard at their most disjointed, coupled with the violent fusion of Unsane and Melvins-esque sludge elements.
