SHAI HULUD
That Within Blood Ill-Tempered (Revelation Recs)
Reviewed by Jason Thornberry

---

The tuneless raging on the mic and the algebraic, metallic arrangements are pushing forward, absorbing all in their path like a blaze seemingly out of control. That's how the once-innocent person with headphones/headache could sum up Shai Hulud's newest disc. Then again, S.H. don't exactly lounge a whole lot. Their three-song Profound Hatred of Man (1997) started things off on a theme they've preserved, and they've yet to even flirt with flirting with melody. Luckily, you know exactly what you're in for with them.

8/10
