STRAY FROM THE PATH
Internal Atomics UNFD
Long Island firebrands make wheat from the modern age’s chaff
‘Thinking like everyone else is not really thinking!’ Drew Dijorio seethes repeatedly as Stray From The Path open up their seventh album, and it’s an immediate declaration of intent. Fusing metallic hardcore riffing with thundering grooves and hook-filled choruses against a darkened backdrop of socio-political unrest, zero words are minced as Fortune Teller
and the provocative Double Down erupt and lyrics are spat with caustic venom. Punishing yet personal, Internal Atomics spits with indignation at those in power, giving an unapologetic middle finger to the complacency rife in modern-day life. ■■■■■■■■■■
