Roarrrr…Grrrr… Three guys – on bass, drums, and guttural screams, respectively – play definitely heavy, thoroughly metal anthems called things like “Don’t Kill My Sister”. They pack an impressive stash of effect pedals, which warp the bass from growls to screeches, and include standout percussive passages whereby they rhythmically pummel things with sticks. Opener “Midnight Train To The Dogfood Factory” sets the LP’s tone: racous, obnoxious, and sometimes absurd. After listening to 19 exhaustive tracks of morbid imagery and slaying bass lines, you may feel tortured enough to write your own Liberties-inspired anthem of pain. I’d simply call mine “Ouch”.

Northern Liberties – Secret Revolution CD (Worldeater Records) You want edgy, angular, experimental post-hardcore, you say?Want it to be quasi-intellectual, you say? As if it could be anything else – given the first demands. And you want a whole hour of it? Don’t want to pay too much for it, either? OK, Worldeater Records will sell you this album or $6. That’s pretty fair, I think. It’s a good album, too, even if, with 18 songs on it, it’s a bit much, especially since Northern Liberties are something of a Dogme project, in that the line-up consists of one drummer, one percussionist, and one bassist. OK, you get vocals, too,, lots of effects on top of it as well, but if you want guitars, you’ll have to search elsewhere. What you get here is raw, artistic expression in the vein of No Means No or Shellac. Not an easy album to listen to, by no means, at times it’s extremely bleak, but it’s rewarding in its own way. If you dig: No Means No, Fugazi, Shellac
