A Dark Night of Shameless Abuse

Complications was a pariah mongrel of death rock and punk unleashed by members of Born Dead Icons, The Black Hand, etc. For me, this seemingly rare 7" evokes a heart-pumping pursuit of mysterious ends through a twilit dreamscape, all the while skirting along the edge of a nightmare but never quite lapsing into it. It's no doubt an exhilarating experience which can be enjoyed in a more fruitful and layered form on their LP, and which I hope you'll pick up from a distributor of your choice. Once the LP becomes harder to find, I'll just have to post that too.

This is really rad, thanks. I hear a little Motorhead under all the awesome guitar exchanges. Dynamic as hell, too. Being honest, the cover art had me expecting less.

Sorry for being so uncommunicative. Just wanna say thanks for taking the time to comment!

Ryan- yeah, the cover art seems to scream "generic" which is why I ignored them for longer than I now see fit. And, yes, the Motorhead influence makes sense considering the whole Born Dead Icon connection. Anyway, enjoy.
