It&#8217;s 10 slices of pacey punk, not one of them reaching the three-minute mark, and a couple of them dipping in at below two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sees them step away slightly from the out-and-out horror punk of the first two albums, but if anything they play faster than ever, flying out of the traps with opener <em>I Want To Be The Alien<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Resist<\/em>, which is up next, is even faster, with an infectious call and response chorus. Vocally, singer Nat reminds me a bit of Beki Bondage from Vice Squad, aggressive but full of melody, and she can&#8217;t half hold a note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Headstone Horrors - Resist (Lyric Video) 2023\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RC3o17MqFAQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The band&#8217;s not bad either, playing with bags of energy and no little musicianship. Originally a four-piece, they&#8217;re now five-strong, with Nat joined by Andy on bass, Jimi and James on guitars and new boy Luke on drums. There&#8217;s lots going on in these songs, but the production&#8217;s so good you can hear all the elements clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Horrors get all political on <em>To Lighten The Weight Of Their Greed<\/em>, which is a slice of social commentary on those who (mis)rule our country. It&#8217;s all pounding drums, rumbling bass and slashing guitars, as well as some great gang vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors.png?resize=640%2C427\" alt=\"headstone horrors\" class=\"wp-image-9144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors.png?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors.png?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors.png?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors.png?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors.png?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors.png?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors.png?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Headstone Horrors are now a five-piece.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One run-through of the album is all it takes to realise that Headstone Horrors don&#8217;t really do slow, and <em>Loud &amp; Clear<\/em> is another pacey tune recalling good times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guitars are heavier than ever and the drums even more frantic on the warning of impending doom that is <em>This Is Not A Test<\/em>, which is one of the standout tracks &#8211; not that there&#8217;s a bad one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thumping drums and a great bassline kick-start <em>Through The Vast Of Night<\/em> before the guitars kick in, and it&#8217;s another full-throttle blazer, as is <em>Silence Loves My Company<\/em>, which sounds like a female-fronted Rancid, particularly the chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"488\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors1.png?resize=640%2C488\" alt=\"headstone horrors\" class=\"wp-image-9145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors1.png?resize=1024%2C780&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors1.png?resize=300%2C228&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors1.png?resize=768%2C585&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors1.png?resize=1536%2C1169&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors1.png?resize=2048%2C1559&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors1.png?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ipamusic.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Headstone-Horrors1.png?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>This self-titled album is the Headstone Horrors&#8217; third.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>We Called It Creeper<\/em>, with its surging power chords and frantic drums, is one of the standouts, and things are brought to a close with another, <em>Gone &amp; Lost It All<\/em>, another song about our looming eco-disaster.
