Deaf Wish - Lithium Zion (CD)

Lithium Zion is the fifth full-length album (and second for Sub Pop following 2015's Pain) from grisly Melbourne, Australia rock group Deaf Wish. Their previous efforts were recorded in makeshift studios - a wise choice for capturing the hazardous riffing, chemically-stained vocals and fiery rhythms conjured by a group such as this - but this step toward a slightly more professional sound only enhances their power.
