Originating from Richmond, Virginia, and featuring Joe Dillon on drums, Danny Finn and Dan Sanchez on guitars and Peter Rosza on bass, Balaclava have released a full length album of some of the most diverse sounding elements that defy categorisation. As a result “Crimes of Faith” expresses a truly genuine attitude towards their art. Tracks such as the monumental “This City” and “The Geometer’s Hand” veer between plundering, doom laden riffs with muscular, frenzied vocals and gentle passages of respite which lead the listener round another corner of tempo and intensity.
