Album Review: 45 Pounds by YHWH Nailgun
Excellent, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 4.0/5
Dancing on dissociatives with a high grade fever YHWH Nailgun are the kind of band that picks a starkly original sound and runs on that single rail like a blazing freight train into obscurity's night. Like Buck Gooter, Ed Schrader's Music Beat, Buice, Truck Violence and countless others that deserved more attention than they ever got, YHWH Nailgun are a band that know that good night is coming, and are raging like Old Testament YHWH through it all. But unlike so many acts that build themselves around apocalyptic fury, this isn't about intimidation--it's not hostile, but rather relentless, a whirling fever dream that clings like flypaper, a plunge into disorienting places where the air congeals into a nausea-inducing haze.
Opinion: Fantastic
Being a rock music fan in 2025 can often feel like you're living the same day over and over again. The days when the genre consistently offered up fresh ideas are long behind us. Technological innovations create new genres of music, meaning that rock's raw materials of vocals, guitars and drums are now a practically archaic combination, particularly so when compared to the futuristic sonic delights that electronic-based genres such as rap and modern pop are coming up with.
