The 1985 Listening Post - Amebix - Arise!

Amebix - Arise!


#338/974
September 14 1985
Amebix
Arise!
Genre: the music from Hell
4 out of 5



Have you ever heard your nightmares?
Now you have. 
The musical act for slaughterhouse pirates. 
I don’t know what Largactyl is but I’m terrified of it. 
Yes there’s chukka chukka Guitars but it’s so dense and dark that it takes on a different meaning. It’s rock as horror show. Not spectacle. Real horror. 
This stuff is, apparently, called Crust Punk. It’s a genre name and, although I’ve never heard it before, it perfectly sums up what this stuff sounds like.
