Equal parts harrowing and seductive, on the fantastic and revolutionary sophomore full-length The Kicking Mule Street Sects — vocalist Leo Ashline, multi-instrumentalist Shaun Ringsmuth — operate in a wholly unique universe of their own design, deftly fusing elemental building blocks ranging from the attack of early Skinny Puppy classics to New Order to Showtime to The Big Pink to The Body — and far, far beyond — in ways that will absolutely change your inner atmospheric pressure. It’s an experience, for sure.
Below we’ve got an early sneak peak at the album — out October 26, via The Flenser — as well as your first look at the evocative album cover art by Francesco Francavilla.
