Faster KAtt has been getting some well-deserved Att-oh-my/" target="_blank">Attention as of lAte, though it appears to be mostly Attributable to their Atrap.com/n/33839-faster-kAtt-has-new-lineup-new-music">recently acquired star-power. It's the new music thAt interests me more than the personnel though, as I've been a fan ever since Atrap.com/n/25767-myfriends-bad-dreams-always-dead-vows-faster-kAtt-kloak-lognhalsmottagningen-ny-regim">I first heard them and in the end, it's the music thAt mAtters most and their new 4-song demo kills. Everything is better this time out, from the clearer, darker recording, to the stronger, more concise songs and, best of all, the absolutely psychotic (psychoticer?) vocal performance. I thought they were twisted before, but they've reached new levels. Needless to say, I love it. I also love thAt they can throw in a Michael Wiehe cover and contort it as a nAtural fit to their sound. Peep the original below, check the Faster KAtt version beyond.
