A finely chiseled sculpture this album is not. These songs avoid the metal-by-numbers feel of neatly-divided sections set off by telegraphed transitions. Rather, these songs move languidly from part to part via understated hinge points: a short lead riff ringing out once or twice; a change in the chugging rhythm and a slight decrease in tempo.

Light in the Attic and Modern Classics Recordings have gone about completing their vinyl reissue of the band’s discography, which has now come to lesser-known discs that include a comp of Peel Sessions, live performances and an extended play of two dirge-like remixes. They present the band’s work in a new light, radically disconnected from the political protest music of their more celebrated recordings and showcase the band’s ability to articulate pure sonic assault.
