Hot Brains Terror

Irritant, the 2010 debut album by Cork duo I’ll Eat Your Face, is probably the most appropriately-titled record I ever did get my hands on; a magical, freeflowing, irkworthy piece of seriously heavy rock that deserved truckloads more attention than it got. The crazed pair’s second LP Hot Brains Terror is a tad more melodic but just as fearless. The mind-blowing track titles are back (try ‘Castle Of Vomiting Owls’, ‘Enslaved By The Prawnmaster’ and ‘Forever Sealed In The Electric Brains’ Melting Slug-Ray’ on for size), as are the breakneck melodies and thundersome rhythms. A must for the pick-me-up section of your iPod.
