Newest Full Length from Choose Your Poison.
CYP Have released a stormer of an LP here! the departure from their previous releases is the fact that they've gone in a decidedly more metal direction. In addition to the somewhat straight forward thrash/skate punk they've always blasted out, they've thrown in a lot more heavy galloping, almost death metal feel, and it really works for them. All three members sing, sometimes alone, sometimes all together so there is a really full and layered feeling to the vocals. A lot of the songs have a very anthemic chorus that makes you want to sing along while you pound your fist in the air and bang your head, which all make this a very enjoyable record. Most of the songs are irreverent, pissed off anthems, with titles like 'Race To Blackout' 'Smoke Weed and Worship Nothing', 'Severed Cock of Christ', or 'Thrash N Burn', but occasionally they tackle more serious subjects like religion or the death of the American automotive industry. There is a strong sense of nihilistic hopelessness throughout. All in all this is a great record, and mine came on splattered puke-green vinyl that looks like someone threw up all over it after getting way too fucked up while listening to this record! The cover art is pretty sweet too; it's a beautifully painted, depressingly hopeless looking picture of a creepy frozen woman reaching up toward nothing, with an apocalyptic cityscape in the background, painted by Detroit's own Tim Shagrat.
