Though not as immediately gripping as debut EP "My sleep was filled with dreams", On Volcano's newest work "New blood" is likewise great. No surprise as far as I'm concerned, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth noting as these things often fall through the cracks and I would be completely to blame if such a thing should happen. "Mission" is my pick of the litter for it's absolutely killer bass hook, both in sound and melody. Skirting the edges of both goth etherealism and postrock-informed moodiness, On Volcano has crafted a track fit for the dancefloor and headphone listening.

Solid B-grade d-beat/käng from a bunch of lifers who are probably having a blast doing it. Can't say it's an essential purchase, nor does it quite have the urgency of contemporaries such asHerätys, but it is well worth a listen if you're a fan of the style or of any of the member's other bands (yes, even you Millencolin listeners). - Avi Roig
