Sonic overload is a speciality of A Place To Bury Strangers and with the thundering bass opening of ‘Alone’ there is little doubt what pleasure we are in for on this record. 

‘You are the One’ has a more dreamy start but it’s not long before arms are aloft pumping the air as the psychedelic guitars hit the wall and bounce straight back.

There is a glorious NIN (Nine Inch Nails) like opening to ‘Crowd Control’. Bass drums, vocals and screaming guitar collide at the end. Title track ‘Worship’ has a Horrors’ like rift and is a storming song! 

The record also has it’s more subtle moments as well, ‘Fear’ and’ Dissolved’ bring the pace down slightly, the latter with an indie feel whilst, ‘Why Can’t I Cry Anymore’ get us back to the industrial wasteland.  

Two LPs and an EP, the catalogue grows for APTBS as the live show gathers rave reviews. A band to catch next time they are in your neighbourhood!
