The Sweet Release Of Death triumph over doom-and-gloom with a pinch of dark humor and a penchant for stretching guitar-based musics outer peripheries. The group forms a maelstrom of ear-splitting racket together, molded into a stylish, streamlined proto-goth act. Third album The Blissful Joy Of Living finds the band reaching for their core instincts, channeling the brimming energy of their live shows. The Blissful Joy Of Living could be considered a playful counter statement to their own name. Over the span of six songs, it offers an acute glimpse of a band mired in total disarray, struggling to progress from the freewheeling recording methods that fueled their acclaimed self-titled predecessor. The Blissful Joy Of Livings punctual makeup, clocking in at just 17 minutes, is an honest symptom of three individuals driving their creative limits to the point of absolute exhaustion. The result, brutalist noise pop thats feral and graceful in equal measure
