Suicide - American Supreme

The first album in 10 years from the granddaddies of splattersynthcore. The music is noticeably less oppressive than the one-note synapse-shredders of Alan Vega and Martin Rev’s late seventies oeuvre. There’s no 'Frankie Teardrop'-style gouge in reality, but you do get Vega snarling “And the nightmare came, and the nightmare came…Cos he fucked her! Cos her fucked her!” amidst a litany of dead beat poet mantras, over music written for cyanide-capsule commercials. Suicide are now regarded as a slightly quaint anarcho-anachronism, but listening to this stuff still makes you feel like your skin is being unpicked thread by thread.
