With an album title alluding to Satan and tattoos, you better bring it. That is exactly what BRMC does here on their sixth studio album. I didn't find any songs lacking really, which is rare. Every track is solid and distinguished. The medium to low fidelity vocals and periodic use of haunting repitition is largely what I find appealing about this band, and it is present on this and their past works. The lyrical content can be readily described as rock and roll poetry. There is nothing emo about it, though. There is a masculine quality to BRMC's music that is even present on slower, more intimate tracks like "Sweet Feeling". There are themes of love and other emotions. It may be the piercing and deep voice of lead vocalist, Peter Hayes; or it may be the beautifully heavy and resonating guitar riffs, but this band is just about as bad ass as a band can be. They are consistent, yet far from complacent. BRMC definitely stand out as one of our generation's most potent talents.
