Protection EP by BLOODLETTER
Recorded live to tape at Queensland’s incredible Mount Nebo the end result is a record that does well to capture the Bloodletter's uncompromising presence - a merging of dark hooks with driving melody. ‘PROTECTION’ sees the group expand their sound beyond initial horizons to a more realized balance of thick atmosphere and biting melodies; a dark and catchy sound with unshaken resolve. Released on Vinyl through Nopatience Records, August 2018.
"Indeed instead of adding to the mob mentality that can annihilate any subgenre by replicating exact sounds into minutiae until people stop buying records, they’ve crafted an atmosphere that sits exceptionally between punk and post-punk. The guitars are thick, heavy, and laden with incessant riffs. The drums are drive straight on through in tandem and the listener is not at want for a respite while the vocals fly into the ceiling of a huge cave, wailing in agony or shrieking in calculated anger. The lyrics are audible and blistering, providing even more reasons to put them on repeat, waiting to receive that relatable connection we all so desire in our alienation..." - Lilian Void, CVLTNATION
"Scenes of mysticism and damnation (aural or otherwise) flit through the record: singer Lena Molnar’s voice is drenched with a sense of sorrow yet laced with hopefulness; guitar lines by Ryan Cooper and Jasmine Dunn play on and off each other, panicky and brooding; the rhythm section’s strong presence carries the sound throughout, with Cat Maddin on bass and Will Learmonth on drums." - Cher Tan, Difficult Fun.
