CD Reviews – Leaders And Liars Billybio

There are lots of musicians in the marketplace who could reasonably be described as a stress of nature, nonetheless few of them make music as naturally forceful, and subsequently as convincing, as Billy Graziadei. Whether or not or not as co-frontman with BIOHAZARD or as six-string foil to Sen Canine in POWERFLO, the New Yorker on a regular basis performs it like he means it, whereas writing songs that search to untangle just a few of life’s thorniest factors. In thought, BILLYBIO is a solo mission, nonetheless as with 2018’s “Feed The Fireside” debut, the great man’s second declaration of independence punches, snarls and spits with the equivalent sweat-drenched, street-bound depth that has educated practically all of his best work. Backed by a formidable line-up that options SUICIDAL TENDENCIES bassist Roberto Diaz and THE EXPLOITED guitarist Robbie Davidson, “Leaders And Liars” is Graziadei‘s lockdown response, and infrequently has anyone sounded further decided to get in the marketplace and sweat blood for precise.

Opener “Black Out” is a sluggish, heavy and easy begin line, with our hero in full street-corner polemic mode, and some of the hookiest thrash riffs Graziadei has written in a very long time. Therein lies the vital factor to “Leaders And Liars”: the previous couple of years have plainly centered his ideas and enabled him to incorporate all of his most cherished musical elements into one ferocious, streamlined total. Prolonged-time followers might be shortly sated by all the fast, fast metallic hardcore moments and the bursts of feral punk rock, nonetheless that’s as loads a gritty nonetheless harassed metallic file because it’s the remaining. The reality is, there’s a world of distinction between the thuggish beatdown grooves of “Fallen Empires” and the snotty, street-punk clatter of the title monitor, nonetheless each factor flows fantastically, glued tight together with Graziadei‘s seemingly ageless spirit of defiance.

With 15 songs in 48 minutes, “Leaders And Liars” is all movement and cheerfully bereft of brakes. “Misplaced Horizon” and “One Life To Reside” are frantic crossover beat-’em-ups, personalized constructed to incite riots in any venue. “Flip The Wounds” is a darkish and moody curveball, tinged with the shadow of doom and the grim throb of economic. “Expertise Kill” is half alt-metal anthem, half hardcore freakout. “Ample” is a satisfyingly savage metal-punk throwback; nearer “Cyanide” blends enormous melodies with even bigger riffs and a smattering of warped electronics. Come what may, all of it’s wise and all of it sounds unmistakably identical to the work of that irrepressible chap from BIOHAZARD. The scary issue is, he seems to be getting far more passionate and energetic as a result of the years go by.
