Fawn Limbs – Darwin Falls
Music is often somewhat visual for me, but rarely is it as viscerally visual as this album.

Full of snarling punk attitude, the album is just plain fun to listen to.
…the Texas quintet do so in a slow burn thrash track that is reminiscent of the classic thrash I grew up on, in terms of grit and delivery.
Taking full advantage of the strengths offered by each member, the band have spawned a dark, bombastic creation, rich with feeling, and full of twists and turns.
Changing tempos and shifting time signatures, combines with a variety of vocal approaches and riffing, present a swirling vortex of chaotic prog darkness.
The album is sometimes spastic, and rarely sits still long, even in the slower parts. And yet it all flows so well together.
Through a kaleidoscopic filter of electronic doom and mayhem, he explores the dark side of life.
The reality is that it draws you into a trance with it’s droning rhythms, building tension and beauty slowly, Ghafur revealing more of this monster with each bile filled invective.
This release has real riffs, played well, and yet retains that rugged feeling through production choices.
