Unholy Thoughts- The Attic LP.  Raging hardcore punk out of Richmond, VA. I can hear some Government Warning in here, and I believe someone from that band is in this band. The songs range from fast to a nice mid-tempo pace and hey wisely mix things up so it doesn’t turn into one long blur. The buildup in the opener, “Excess,” is pretty cool. It starts off at a slow lumber, then you hear the bass drum suddenly pick up the pace, it builds up speed, and then back again. Then they tear into “Black and Red” and all hell breaks loose. The riffs are good and the breakdowns are catchy as fuck. As the album progresses, so does the urgency and speed. The whole second side is a scorcher. Absolutely love the part in “In Living Color” where everyone but the bass drops out for a couple seconds before tearing back into it. Fuck yeah! Even having the bass open on “Sleep” is cool. This guy, Kenny, has a really good sound here. Low end for days and it grabs your attention. 12 rippers. Fans of Jerry’s Kids, Annihilation Time, Neurosis and Thin Lizzy will dig.
