Full to bursting with fuzz-laden riffs, driving drums, and powerful vocals, this record will make for excellent listening across the summer months. The album absolutely explodes into being; dirty guitars come crashing from the start as <em>\u2018Disappearing from Sight\u2019<\/em> sets the tone for the rest of the record. Throughout <em>\u2018Sister Faith\u2019<\/em> what <strong>Coliseum<\/strong> showcase is their ability to keep things fresh. For every time something seems predictable, there\u2019s something you didn\u2019t see coming, it can be something as simple as an unexpected chord that keeps the entire album safe from growing boring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Something else <strong>Coliseum<\/strong> seem to have made a habit of is fantastically gritty bass intros. <em>\u2018Under the Blood of the Moon\u2019<\/em> comes with the pick of the bunch. It\u2019s thunderous sludge and soon matched by similarly roaring backing. This album twists and turns often without ever straying too far from the solid path set from the beginning. On bass or guitar there\u2019s a riff for every occasion on<em> \u2018Sister Faith\u2019<\/em> \u2013 provided every occasion calls for a wonderful amount of distortion and grit, something every occasion could probably do with.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Late Night Trains\u2019<span> is a stand out track. Those fuzzy riffs are at their mighty best here and the vocals nail it harder than ever before, with swells and drops rarely matched elsewhere on the album. Again, on <em>\u2018Everything Glass\u2019, <\/em><strong>Coliseum<\/strong>maintain this fire whilst flitting seamlessly between vocals so huge they\u2019re almost sing-along and slower sections so grimy you\u2019ll think back fondly on your last shower. Well worth checking out if you\u2019re interested in <strong>Coliseum<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span><\/span><em><span>&lsquo;Sister Faith\u2019 <\/span><\/em><span>isn\u2019t always so strong, however; occasionally it does allow itself to feel a little repetitive. I do love a dirty bass intro but the three in a row of <em>\u2018Love Under Will\u2019, \u2018Under the Blood of the Moon\u2019, and \u2018Used Blood\u2019<\/em> do stand out as a little too continuous. These are three mighty songs, with three mighty basslines, but three in a row gives the impression that perhaps no one gave a thought to the fluidity of the record as a whole. As well as this one relatively minor complaint, the vocals occasionally hit an unusual step \u2013 on <em>\u2018Love Under Will\u2019 <\/em>I found myself imagining something of a Punx Jarvis Cocker moving his way through the track. They\u2019re not bad vocals by any means, they just sit a tad odd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Regardless of these negligible matters this is a strong album from start to finish, a distorted monster straight out of your sleazy nightmares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">4\/5<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span><em>&#8216;Sister Faith&rsquo;<\/em> by <strong>Coliseum<\/strong> is out on the 30th April on <strong>Holy Roar Records<\/strong> in the UK and on <strong>Temporary Residence Ltd.<\/strong> in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span><strong>Coliseum<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.coliseumsoundsystem.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/coliseumsoundsystem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/coliseumband\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Words by Tom Knott<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coliseum\u2019s fourth album, \u2018Sister Faith\u2019, drops at the end of this month and it is a damn good one.
