NY bros Max and Danny wail through less than 13 minutes of music here, though only three minutes and thirty seconds of it is new LS. The title track (which gives our valkyrie the name Beatrix) funks in with a sample of womanly attitude whose source I'm now dying to find; the song itself crashes about with stage-demolishing abandon, cramming healthy punk up against a third-rail-hot bass line for maximum loudspeaker destruction. "Train Kept a Rollin" follows it up with some finger-scorching Southern fire, with Saman Rouhani on bubbling-caramel-colored guest vox. Lion Splicer wrap with a louder version of the finale from last year's _Slicer_, called "Sector 7" (this one subtitled "Return to Reactor"). The sound all over this EP outstrips the older recording, though the intent is largely the same: find something heavy and expensive, then kick it hard with your toe until one of them breaks. There's not an abundance of material here, but it's probably enough for those geneticists to let off some steam after they screw the pooch and end up with a roaring sneagman instead of the riddling sphinx we were promised. (Government cover-up!)
