ART TRIP & THE STATIC SOUND - FOREVER / FOR LOB 415 EDIT
The band inform us that "a full 'freak out' version will appear on the next LP later this year." For now this version is out as a digital release on June 15 on Fiasco Recordings. Fronted by Melodie Holliday, it's as brutal and uncompromising as all their work. Lethal.
