Austin band Bloody Knives are into gritty industrial noise-rock with forays into drones, ambient, electronics and shoegaze. This latest album I Will Cut Your Heart Out For This is a sonic assault, a search-and-destroy raid that comes howling from the speakers, telling dark tales of doom and death. They don't pause fro breath between tracks, but keep adding motifs and textures, building a towering wall of sound.
They offer a ride to the back alleys, where bad things are bound to happen. It's a journey that will be too weird and downright scary for most - and they may scratch their heads at tune called ----. For those who wondered what a mix of the Sisters of Mercy and Sonic Youth would sound like, the answer is: the Bloody Knives. Handle with care.
