NEW PUNK/BLACK METAL ALBUMFROM NEW YORK BANDNew York City’s Raspberry Bulbs, featuring members of Bone Awl and Rorschach, makes their Relapse Records debut with their highly anticipated new album, Before the Age of Mirrors. As usual, defying underground music conventions, Raspberry Bulbs continue to push boundaries with their subversive take on occult punk and black metal. With maniacal lyricism and raw guitar rumblings channeled through 4-track recordings and a wall of distortion, Raspberry Bulbs suffocates the listener a little more with each track. The band showcases the volatile and confrontational attitudes of punk with the discordant sounds of lo-fi black metal and the strange dreams found only in weird fiction.
