After nine years playing as xDisciples AD the boys now known as Jesus Wept played their last show at the 2004 Facedown festival. They’ve returned with a new 7 song EP that starts with the gravel roar of an inner city mountain lion. Sick City is waist deep in swamp muck rock, sprinkled with punk and coated with a sinister sledged out delivery.
There’s slow churning guitar work that could rival any fabrication plant and enough beats to stage dive to. Vocally there’s a pleasant cross between DRI and Obituary which to the seasoned ear of punks and metalheads is symphony.
