Music reviews of Audio Airstrike ConsultantsMusic Review: Music for suicide bombers
When he was at his peak, Henry Rollins and his band created some of the most intense music on the planet. This box set collects his early outings into one invaluable resource for those who enjoy music that is committed to nothing less than audience annihilation. It is impossible to deny the sheer power and intensity of these sacrificial offerings. Henry had a very black and white view of the world (as evidenced by the album cover art) and he creates songs that capture the extreme nature of his loneliness and alienation at that time of his life. It's not really music in the normal sense of the word. It's more akin to taking psycotropic drugs and jumping out of a fast moving car. These tracks are cathartic in the extreme. A self-confessed iron freak, Henry makes every song seem like a bone-cracking work-out to the point of obliteration. With superb back-up from his band, he pummels, screams, whispers and bellows his way to nirvana while the band create an unholy racket to accompany him on his relentless journeys to the heart of darkness. The two core discs here are Life Time and Hard Volume. Both represent the Rollins Band at an absolute peak of their abilities. Hard Volume contains more truth and honesty than any other one thousand musical offerings you care to name. It is a brutal excursion to the outer limits of musical expression, crushing and total. You will whimper and beg for mercy but there is none. By the time you get to Down and Away you are curled up in the corner, head in hands. Henry's ability to reach down and pull his guts out time and again is beyond belief. It's a terrifying experience. The band are never less than brilliant, creating vast urban soundscapes that are almost three dimensional in texture and weight. Incredibly, the Live 87/88 document surpasses both Life Time and Hard Volume in intensity and shows what an incredible wrecking machine the Rollins Band are Live when they are in the groove. A totally unique chapter in the history of music.
