From the doleful yet somehow somewhat celebratory initial notes shed from Dylan R. Carlson's mourning guitar onwards, Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light II, the second record to be released from the recording sessions of the same name at the local Avast! Recording Co. is a dirgeful affair, and a superbly gruelling, if typically lugubrious one at that. So emotive and consequently so involving, mere moments into opener Sigil of Brass you're left exasperatedly awaiting some austere voiceover to earnestly utter something along the quintessentially contrived lines of: "Nothing could prepare me for what was to come..."

Alas, pity the life of a rake. "And so Lord Penfold, I simply must tell you…" "Apologies my lady, but there is someone I absolutely have to speak to this very minute." "But you promised that you would listen to my story." "And so I shall my dear, so I shall. But for now I must beg your forgiveness, for we must part ways though it rends my heart to be away from you for a mere moment." "Alright Lord Penfold. If you must go I understa…" The last bit of dialogue was lost [...]

After five years spent scuzzing up New York's club circuit, the Rakehells have finally hit the recording studio. The result is a blistering 15-track album (out on September 21) that harnesses the band's influences the Sex Pistols , the Clash , the Ramones , the Stooges , et al, as well as more contemporary bands like Guns N' Roses and Metallica . The album, Please Yourself; or, the Devil in the Flesh , certainly captures all of the frenetic energy of the band's' loud, debauched live shows Comprised of half British and half [...]

After nearly five years of wading waist-deep through the muck of the NYC club scene, I'm not sure it's fair to call The Rakehells a new band, even if their debut, Please Yourself; Or, The Devil In The Flesh , is still weeks from storming the bins. This Anglo-American quintet finds itself washed up on the desert shores once inhabited by castaways like The Stooges, The New York Dolls and Richard Hell and The Voidoids , but with a little extra something on the [...]
