Simon Tucker -
0
It starts with a squall of riotous noise. Stripping your senses and outside influence. Naked and ready. In comes the sludge thump drums adding an anchor before MC Dälek's vocals emerge from the storm and boy has he come prepped. We are about to be taught a lesson. School is in session..

Zonal: Wrecked – album review

This is music to get you up and at 'em. Music to storm castles and destroy parliaments. An album with a clear and unifying agenda, which is welcoming without being soft, beautiful in it ugliness and 100% the results of artists at the peak of their powers.
