TRAP THEM - FILTH RATIONS

The latest release from Trap Them and their first on Southern Lord takes the form of a one sided 4 track 12" with an etching on the B-side.  I'm not sure when the whole one sided 12" thing took off but I'm certainly seeing it a lot more now than in the past.  I would have been happy with a 7" but this also works.

The EP features 3 new songs and one re-recorded from their first album for what seems like no other reason than to pad this out a little.  I do like this but the songs don't have the same impact as previous releases.  Still, the material is solid and I have high hopes for the next full length, whenever that will come out.

Trap Them - Seizures In Barren Praise

I really got into Sleepwell Deconstructor when it was released. It was the first time I'd heard anything from Trap Them and I was drawn to how pissed off it sounded, especially the vocals of Ryan McKenney, which I always thought were the best thing in backstabbers Inc.

This album is different style wise, with far fewer blast beats and grind influenced songs and more old school entombed and D-beat action. This isn't surprising as it was definitely the way the band was going on the previous EP.

I ordered 3 copies from Deathwish and was lucky enough to get all 3 colours.
