Tales Of Torment (OPAQUE YELLOW VINYL) (Vinyl)

Debut album from south-eastern Australias†creeping clan of black denim/leather clad miscreants, Rot TV. While the album may be their first as a collective, as an itemized†bill of experienced and†musically well-heeled parts Rot TV is a veritable whos who of noise-loving night howlers. Featuring the†likes of Lecherous Gaze/Witchs Graham Clise on guitar and Southern Comfort/Miss Destinys Harriet Hudson-Clise on vocals,†the band has been blazing an†unshakeable trail south of the equator since the 2019 release of their debut 7,†F.D.A./Transylvanian Nights.†Signed to Tee Pee Records for the release of Tales of Torment, to suggest that the album offers more of the same and very little†else would be a lie. From the riff-ready, New York Dolls strut of Ready to Die to the closing amphetamine anarchy (a la The†Pink Fairies) of Meataxe, listeners are locked into a rollercoaster of rock history. Dead Moon, MC5, The Damned, all the way†down to the Ray Davies Rats-esque rock of Oblivion and full-throttle Kinks worship on their cover of I'm Not Like Everybody†Else, Rot TV have two speeds; fast and full-tilt boogie. Either way, youre coming along for the ride.
