When these elements come together, the results are frequently awesome: Heart and Crossbones marries octopus-like fretwork with a thunderous breakdown, which combines with the only use of affected death growls on the album to thrilling effect. More than serving simply to fill in the gaps in the band’s sound, Harvey’s work is consistently impressive stuff, particularly in the minute-long drum outro to Hyperviolet. Drummer Brian Harvey, meanwhile, ably provides a pummelling backbeat to Hull’s wall-of-sound riffing.
