Description
Tragedy – “Darker Days Ahead” CD
The fourth full-length by Tragedy, released in 2012 and now only available on CD format. Released at a time when this style and sound was reaching saturation point (whoever coined the phrase stadium crust pretty much nailed down the coffin), but as pack leaders, a Tragedy album under close scrutiny still bares-up pretty damn strong, and after the passing of time this recording, has to be said, sounds fucking intense and rich ‘n fruity with sonic ideas – from acoustic ambience to horror movie drone and then to the familiar world-obliterating metal-punk roar. This finds Tragedy leaning more to the metal than at any time before, or after, but as I type this I’m getting basslines that mainline straight back in time to Neurosis’ The Word As Law. Still punk as fuck.
