All female quartet Headless specialise in heavy, dystopian angst. On 'Sway', fuzzy riffs ride over the top of sharp drum rolls, burrowing deep into your eardrums and beneath your skin before lead singer Chrissie's distraught vocals sound like PJ Harvey having a bad day, Nell's drums crashing heavier than before to turn the tension up just that little bit more.

The chorus gets lost in a swirling mêlée of drums and guitars each vying for supremacy, straining under the weight of the struggle before heading back to their respective corners for a slight respite, clashing again beneath a second verse even more anguished than the first (sample lyric; 'I know I'll never see the light again').

The climax has whirring guitars akin to the blades of gunships hovering with intent perilously close above you, drums hacking into the thick air and Chrissie sounding as though she's collapsed on the floor into a pool of something noxious. It's all over. You're left dazed. The growling, Banshees - inspired 'Holy Man' continuous the dark musical onslaught. This is uneasy listening at its psychotic finest. The bad dream - inducing cover art is great too, in a Juxtapoz Magazine sort of way.
