Lifeless Dark is a band from Boston who have injected their punk with a hefty dose of trash metal instead of black metal (which many seem to do nowadays). The results are every bit as great as Power’s ingenious blend of punk and boogie. It’s actually taken them seven years to follow up on their demo, but well, it has paid off because Forces of Nature’s Transformation is an intense listen. The band may have evolved out of d-beat group Innocent, seeing as Ryan Abbott, Jennifer Epstine and Samatha Albright all play in both. But instead of Samantha singing, this group has a vocalist called Elaine. Drummer Abbott released it on his Side Two label, which also happens to be the name of his studio.
