\n BUY ON AMAZON: Pitch Black<\/a>
\nHailing from the San Francisco \u201cBay Area\u201d, Pitch Black is a quartet that includes a keyboard player in addition to a standard punk lineup. No edge is sacrificed for the addition of eerie synth harmony, as the harder tracks may evoke images of leather and spike-clad youth running and clashing mindlessly like exploding human-jellyfish.<\/p>\n

Kevin Cross\u2019s coarse vocals have the brattiness of Johnny Rotten on steroids and crack, with a shotgun. The lead vocals may bring to mind the more hardcore side of NoFx. Pitch Black\u2019s dark, energetic punk is complemented by in-your-face lyrics that are more like sh!t-talking witha death fixation than contemplative and meaningful. It\u2019s all in good fun, though, as the whole album is a blackened rock-n-roll cartoon, matching the cover art. The younger crowd is obviously targeted, though the hardcore aspect may appeal to listeners who usually choose more mature music.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are introduced to Pitch Black with \u201cThe Wrath\u201d, a screamer with pounding double bass and changing rhythmns. The varying intensity of the riffage highlights the potential of the band, with themes that are expanded throughout the album. \u201dDestructive Criticism\u201d and \u201cHalf Empty\u201d follow strongly, leaving us at the fourth track, entitled \u201cThe Bride\u201d. This one is structured much like Samhain\u2019s \u201cLet The Day Begin\u201d, but has more popular appeal. \u201dResting Place\u201d is a high point, consisting of chiming guitars and a ballad-upbeat-ballad format.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
