So here’s the thing… I almost didn’t manage to get this column written and published this week.
Not, I need to state, due to any issues with my motivation or time management, but because a particular album that I’d eagerly been looking forward to turned out to be incredibly mediocre and overhyped (here’s a tip: if you’re going to try and sell something as a progressive piece of cross-genre pollination it’s probably a good idea to not just deliver a bunch of interchangeable Nu-Metalcore tracks that quickly go in one ear and out the other) leaving me with a gaping whole in my usual three album format.
Thankfully it turned out Leeds-based Tech-Death types Pravitas also just put out their debut album, and so have ended up slotting into this article quite nicely, not only saving the day but also giving me another promising new band to talk about.
