DRUGS OF FAITH “Asymmetrical” CD

Though it’s been over a decade since the release of “Drugs of Faith,” ASYMMETRICAL sits firmly alongside the caliber and crushing, blunted vision one might expect from the long-standing Northern Virginia grindcore tradition of Richard Johnson, Ethan Griffiths, and Ivan Khilko. DOF presents nine new tracks from their flagship album, “Grind & Roll,” which sounds both meticulously orchestrated and, more importantly, an unbridled, seething reflection on the bleak future that inevitably awaits humanity. It’s another important chapter in the over two-decade-long, devastating story of Drugs of Faith, one of the greatest, currently crushing hits to come out of the DMV.
