Speaking on the new single, bassist/vocalist Sam (also of The Antichrist Imperium, The Berzerker) comments: "As far as we're concerned, death metal is for one thing and one thing only: a barrage of horrific screaming blastbeats conveyed with maximum violence. My Enemies Look And Sound Like Me - the track, the album - is the pinnacle expression of that. Fuck leads. Fuck melody. Fuck you."
My Enemies Look And Sound Like Me is the mature effort of a band approaching the midpoint of both their career and their lives, fine-tuning audio violence and desperate to leave nothing on the table before the hormones fade and dementia kicks in. Opener Under The Ground is an apoplectic death metal middle finger to the genre and all involved within it. Title track My Enemies Look And Sound Like Me
demonstrates that the band have absolutely no intention of slowing down at all, while Destroyer Of Worlds is a slow creepfest that makes a lie of the previous sentence. Elsewhere, songs like Brace For Impact and Neanderhell
demonstrate that WEREWOLVES are only getting more rabid with age - the BPM is appropriately crazed WEREWOLVES fare.
Mixing and mastering was handled, as always, by Joe Haley (Psycroptic), and the artwork is a remarkable simulacrum of modern social media discourse by long time collaborator Mitchell Nolte, and depicts two frenzied opposing groups of people massacring each other and themselves in a screaming horrified rage.
