The furious energy that hits listeners during Piqued Jacks’ Upturned Perspectives is impressive, but what is more impressive is the ability of the band members to create a compelling and controlled effort out of this initial salvo.

Impuritan Make It Look Like Nothing Happened CD Review

Make It Look Like Nothing Happened is the new release from San Francisco’s Impuritan.  The album begins with Show Us Your Hidden Daggers, a track that rapidly opens up to an intense piece of psychedelic / drone metal. While one can discern hints of Tool, Kyuss, and Soundgarden, I feel that the epic styling of the track is much more in the vein of Pink Floyd. SargeantJohn Sargeant, writing on…
