MP3: Silver - Drenched in comfort

Silver's new album "Wolf chasing wolf" sounds like they broke into Satyricon's studio, locked the doors behind them and got all doped up. It's so harsh and negative, violent and paranoid; yet the huge trashrock hooks remain fully intact. The vital punkrock urgency, too. I just never thought I'd be so into a rock'n'roll record that sounded so unnatural. "Drenched in comfort" isn't as much of a pop song as the rest of their material, but I love the ominous chanting and drumline beats. And those leads! It's so great to hear a band pull together all sorts of disparate influences together and forge their own path.

CoF hasn't been a good band in a long time, but at least they are entertaining live. As for Satyricon, I'd still really like to see them with Frost on drums, but I doubt Homeland Security will ever let that happen.
