Prepare your ears for a time machine trip to the late eighties! Swedish crossover thrashers Negative Self will transport you to the George Bush-era for a total retro-rager with their new self-titled album.
The album is chock full of nostalgic shred. The band channels old Suicidal Tendencies' guitarist Mike Clark's early output, from How Will I Laugh Tomorrow… to Lights… Camera… Revolution!, with amazing results. So put on your dangly cross earring, drain the pool, and check out the full album below, via Bandcamp. Flannel shirts and paisley blue bandana sales are on the rise since the album's release,so invest now while you still can.
Trevor Strnad is the vocalist of The Black Dahlia Murder. You can read more of his recommendations in the monthly Metal Injection column, The Obituarist.
