CoC : Wicked Angel - Heads Will Roll : Review

Wicked Angel - _Heads Will Roll_
(Noise Records, 1998)
by: Adrian Bromley (8 out of 10)

This is one of those rare records where I have a hard time deciding what to write about. Is it good? Does it suck? What will I write? Well, I tried my damnedest to sum this all up in as little space as possible -- here goes. _Heads Will Roll_ by Wicked Angel is one of those records that you might only listen to a few times over the course of a year, but in every listen you're in for a treat. This is dirty, slimy rock n' roll (with metallic qualities) that refuses to let go until it comes to an end. This band look more like renegade bikers than musicians, but looks can be deceiving, people. And while this LP may be chockfull of roarin' metal riffs, harsh screaming vocals, predictable one-liners and a real reckless attitude that some might be turned off from, it's those attributes that also seem to make this all the more enjoyable. This is a bad-ass bar band that takes shit from nobody. You know how your parents warned you about bad people when growing up? Ahem... these are those people. Look no further than Wicked Angel to satisfy your hunger for raunchy, bad ass, skit-kickin' music. This is an out of control tattooed metal machine that crushes the values of etiquette, respect and authority beneath their biker boots. It's nasty, but oh so good, my friends.
