More static and less pop sensibilities makes a very solid release and follow up to Death Magic. Songs have shortened even more on this release - these are snapshots defying normal song sensibilities - compact and measured like toffees wrapped in tailored angst.

This is the heaviest and most intense HEALTH album to date! Their first two albums were very experimental and noisy but with DEATH MAGIC they changed their sound to a more pop influenced dance kinda sound. They’ve kept their traditional loud experimental noise but they’ve managed to put it into a more structured framework (like a typical pop song with verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus). Some may not like the direction HEALTH is going in but I think they've found a perfect stride with their music and SLAVES OF FEAR takes their sound in a more industrial heavy metal direction. This is easily HEALTH’s most focused and intense album to date and is a must have for anyone who likes loud epic music crushing their skull.

Very nice first single!
