AS BLOOD RUNS BLACK: FORGET THE COVER, LET’S TALK ABOUT THE MUSIC, MAN

So, uh, I reviewed the new As Blood Runs Black album, Instinct, a couple of weeks ago, and I was more than a little surprised to see that most of the reader comments concerned the cover art. I mean, I love dissecting album art as much as the next nerd, but C’MON, guys. Let’s at least give the world the appearance of not being a bunch of shallow assholes.

So. ABRB are streaming a new song, “Angel City Gamble,” over at Noisecreep. Go listen, and then come back, and have a discussion about, y’know, the music. I don’t especially care if you like it or hate it — I’m not a huge fan of the band/album/song myself — but at least now we can talk about this like semi-intelligent post-adolescents.

Headbang here. Instinct comes out March 15 on Mediaskare.
