Faced With Rage K Scope

Industrial proggers blaze new trails Regular Guitarist contributor and Godsticks frontman Darran Charles tells us, “With Faced with Rage, I wanted to continue the same

heavy journey that we began with 2015’s

Emergence but this time occasionally delve into more atmospheric and textural sounds that we’d not previously explored.” It’s a dark journey, for sure, but the landscape is a fascinating one; constantly undulating with writhing, twisting guitar riffs and subterraneous bass parts, held together with Darran’s dystopian lyrics. Shafts of light emerge with tracks like We Are Leaving, a widescreen ballad with a creeping melodic guitar solo. It’s an album that is constantly intriguing with labyrinthine changes of pace and colour. We like it! [DM] Standout track: Angry Concern For fans of: Dream Theater, The Pineapple Thief
