THE REVIEW

Crucial Blast. A label, a guarantee.

A guarantee of satisfying sound-bludgeoning, occasionally of systematic migraine. "Always A Six Never A Nine" does not disappoint, second release by the raucous Black Elk, angry rockers with eardrum-shattering base in Portland.

Equally divided between massive noise assaults of the AmpRep school ("My Last Shred Of Decency", "Hold My Hand") and solid SubPop first-wave progressions ("She Pulled Machete"), mixed with well-camouflaged metallic scraps ("Pig Crazy", "Brine"), they are appreciated without necessarily invoking a miracle.

For that (apparently) Bonolis already took care of it.

UH!

Summary by Bot

Always A Six Never A Nine is Black Elk’s second album released under the Crucial Blast label, known for their aggressive noise rock style. The album balances intense noise assaults inspired by the AmpRep scene with progressive influences from the SubPop first wave. Some metallic elements add extra texture, making the album powerful but not miraculous. Overall, it delivers on the label’s reputation for noisy, impactful music.
