about

“I am not surprised to read that founding member of The Ex, G.W. Sok, contributes vocals on two tracks on this record because this record immediately brings The Ex to mind. Specifically, I’m reminded of the material that The Ex recorded in the ‘90s collaborating with cellist Tom Cora, as those records incorporated a lot of traditionally “non-punk” aspects and influences into the songs while still landing firmly within the radius of The Ex’s anarcho punk roots. This LP is similar in that it’s seemingly cut from that same mold. There are songs with obvious folk music influence and there are songs with dirgey experimental guitar work that also brings to mind Dog Faced Hermans (whose guitarist also played on those records where The Ex teamed up with Tom Cora) while some other parts of this left me thinking of everything from Diamanda Galas to PJ Harvey to Crass. This record manages to coherently bring all of these wide-ranging influences together while not at all sounding exactly like any of them. The Ex has been a longtime favorite of mine, and so I really shouldn’t be shocked that I cannot seem to take this record off my turntable. Highly recommended.” –Mark Twistworthy (Water Wing, waterwingrecords.com)

about

Come Holy Spirit Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

"This is the kind of record I often wish would get sent in but rarely does, and then I realize there aren't many records like this. This is a band that comes out of punk but brings their own specific worldview of DIY and originality to the table rather than rehashing a 25 year old hardcore record. CHS from Pgh is immediately heavy, creepy, innovative, and inspiring ... " Greg Harvester, MRR. ... more

Play this album in the loudest system you can find, set to 11 and blow you and your neighbours minds. I find interchanging this with Carcass and early Killing Joke a great antidote for any niceness that creeps into my soul. pablo6580

Whoever mixed that guitar should be fired. If you can get past that, this is another great and addictive album from this band. Gonzo

I've had a slow burn with this album, it started as something I easily recognized as good, but I've been coming back to it throughout the year and it keeps getting better, and now I really do believe this is one of the best albums KRS has put out. It gets into some raucous ALL CAPS chaotic energy but paces it out well and throws in tracks that give the album experience some dynamics. But even in those valleys it still feels so intense and vital. Truly gripping stuff here. Alex Tripp
