EXTREME NOISE TERROR- 'Law Of Retaliation' CD. I first heard Extreme Noise Terror's brand of intense crusty punk on John Peel's show sometime in the late 80's. The experience rendered me agog with delirium and ever since, these soap-dodging Suffolk degenerates have been more than welcome to squat round my house and drink all my cider. ENT have come and gone with various line-up shuffles for nearly 25 years now but this release, their first in 7 years, sees a reinstatement of their original dual vocalist assault force and thankfully haven't lost any of their fury. In fact, if anything, they sound better, tighter and more focussed than ever, making this album's production the only 'clean' thing about these crust-punk pioneers. This is one of the most unlikely and most satisfying comebacks of the year from a band who can rightly be considered masters of their art. Great stuff here.
