Stereogum's Album of the week: Red Death's 'Sickness Divine' - "riffs in a deliberate stomp"

"Red Death are three albums in and sounding strong as hell. The secret, I think, is that they aren’t really a punk band anymore" - Stereogum says about their latest choice for Album of the week. "They’ve become a better version of who they always were", Stereogum writes, picking out guitarist Ace Mendoza - "a full-on shredder, squeezing in nasty guitar solos even when his band is playing at a full sprint". Sonic Perspectives heard it as a "so damn catchy" hardcore/crossover for fans of punk, thrash, classic metal and extreme metal.
