Album review: Murder By Death – Red Of Tooth And Claw

July 21st, 2008 by The Editor

Murder By Death - Red Of Tooth And ClawIt’s not often that I get to hear something that sounds genuinely fresh and original, but I missed Murder By Death‘s earlier albums, and so Red Of Tooth And Claw comes as a surprise of the more pleasant type. Like some moonshine brew boiled up from equal parts bluegrass misery and rockabilly swagger, it’s a heady liquor that goes down smooth before burning a smoking hole in your torso.

A lot of bands reappropriate imagery to bolster their sound, but Murder By Death don’t simply dress themselves up in sonic costumes
