Product Details
A WILHELM SCREAM (MA, USA) - Lose Your Delusion (sealed CD copy) (2022) Released by Creator-Destructor Records in a standard jewel case w/clear tray.
In the band's studio album discography, this is Number 5. It was recorded at the band’s own studio, Anchor End, and was the first of their albums to be released on Creator-Destructor Records.
It’s been eight years and change since a full-length album was released by the everything and the kitchen sink Punk attack machine known as A Wilhelm Scream. Without any singles or EP releases for fans to chew on since late 2013, there were no hints or tidbits of what to expect when "Lose Your Delusion" finally dropped in April of 2022.
The opening track,
“Acushnet Avenue At Night”, begins with two minutes of ambient distortion and fuzzed-out guitar riffing; no bass, no drums, no vocals. The listeners might be thinking: when will things kick into gear? Is this whole song just an intro? You guys are going to play fast and heavy any second now, right?
True to form, things do get very fast and very heavy, but I would say decidedly less pissed-off when compared to their previous material. Songs like
“GIMMETHESHAKES” and
“Figure Eights In My Head” have a fun, happy feel with upbeat choruses that get stuck in your head a little deeper than you want them to.
Some listeners might like this more than their usual freight train of chaos where it may seem as if every instrument is about to fall off the rails, but instead come together in one cohesive sonic boom.
This side of the coin is also strongly represented, especially with the three-song stretch of
“Apocalypse Porn”,
“Be One To No One” and the title track,
“Lose Your Delusion.” Their songwriting offers so many twists and turns, filled with axe shredding and time changes, you need to hear every song more than once or twice to fully absorb it. This kind of depth gives the album an outstanding replay value.
The artwork for this release deserves special mention. Interlacing scenes spanning across city streets and buildings presented in a slick, trippy, wonderland of color and texture. --
