![]() “Yhwh on Acid,” “Lot’s Seed,” “Remnants” and “Our Discovery” all contain biblical imagery and religious references, but in a context that obscures and reorients the themes well beyond easy recognition and comprehension. On Paganicons, singer Joaquin Milhouse Brewer tunelessly barks lyrics (as in “We Don’t Need Freedom” and “A Human Certainty”) that aren’t bad in a pretentious mock-intellectual vein the music is loudly abrasive, but with spaces and dynamics largely uncommon to the genre.įrom Brewer’s back cover credit of “vocals and sermons” to his complex, provocative lyrics (despite numerous misspellings on the lyric sheet), Saccharine Trust - guitarist Joe Baiza plus a new rhythm section - takes an abrupt religious turn on Surviving You, Always. Too early to be post-hardcore but too uncommon for any simple classification, this Southern California quartet doesn’t try to create a blizzard of noise - they go at it more artfully, but with equally ear-wrenching results.
