Description
City of Caterpillar – “Mystic Sisters” LP
The second album by this infamous screamo band of Richmond, Virginia, a whole twenty years since their last one! Joining their brother/sister band Terminal Bliss to become part of the Relapse label’s roster, the family tree that unites both bands is intertwined with many legendary bands of the last twenty years: Malady, Page Ninety Nine, Verse En Coma, Highness, Pygmy Lush. Less text-book screamo than back in the early 2000s, but still explosive, wild and frantic; reinvented with added atmosphere and innovation, like, post-rock/Godspeed/Sonic Youth influences have been sandwiched in between the sonic mayhem, thereby greatly increasing the uneasy sense of drama.
