Cold 2 The Touch - Vinyle Rouge

Description

There’s no other band quite like Angel Du$t—their singularity is measured by the distance they put between themselves and the rest of the scene. When confronted with questions about their identity (genre destroyers, the ultimate authentic guitar band, pure aggressors, or sincere experimentalists), their new album, COLD 2 THE TOUCH, offers a simple answer: "Angel Du$t is rock & roll," summarizes frontman and instigator Justice Tripp. This 26-minute musical explosion, eclectic yet impactful, shows that the band refuses to be confined to narrow subgenres. More ferocious than ever, the album blends powerful riffs with striking choruses, all underpinned by Tripp's unvarnished existentialism. A constellation of collaborators punctuates the listening experience: guitarist Jim Carroll shines on "Zero," an epic track over three minutes long with spiraling riffs and additional vocals from Wes Eisold (American Nightmare, Cold Cave; "Zero"), Patrick Cozens (Restraining Order) lends his growl to "Downfall," Frank Carter contributes to "Man On Fire," and Taylor Young (Twitching Tongues, Deadbody) delivers guttural vitriol on "The Beat." The final duo, "The Knife" / "The Beat," crystallizes Angel Du$t's strength: naive reflections on life's finiteness can coexist with the pure pleasure of violent riffs, and a humanity that takes precedence—being true to oneself and the full spectrum of one's thoughts and emotions. "This is who I am," says Tripp. "And I speak for the band as well: we are people who will always play aggressive rock & roll. It just so happens that you either like it or you don't. I am who I am, and if you get in my way, I'm going to crush you."
