Karyn Crisis is just raw as hell. Her intensely psychotic vocal acrobatics are a great fit for the band's well minded instrumentation, which is rooted in chaotic barbed wire ramblings and percussive pummeling of the highest order. With dirty grooves and an insane sounding high pitched scream from Karyn that makes the song sound positively nuts, 'A Graveyard For Bitches' shows that Crisis are unclassifiable and certainly unpredictable. For whatever reason, this crazy mixture of styles works very well for the band, giving the song enough memorable parts to hold your interest, but maintaining a high degree of thunder that's really emphasized when the shit really hits the fan. 'Politics Of Domination' also stands out as a creative fusion that becomes it's own thing. There's certainly no other female vocalist out there right now that has the degree of versatility that Karyn Crisis enjoys. Musically, things revolve around the low end quite a bit, but the guitar tone is still markedly biting. 'Secrets Of The Prison House' is a tormented exercise that is overwhelmingly angry as Karyn wails bleakly over the track's syrupy riffing. During times like this, Crisis approaches stoner metal territory, Kyuss being a band that comes to mind, but Karyn's freaked out singing and screaming make the sound undeniably Crisis' only. Are you an evil little punter that likes to check out intelligent, well thought out metal while an incredibly hot chick barfs all over a microphone? Then this one is all you, bud. Crisis fucking rock.
