Between the constant debate on gun control seemingly reaching a standstill and Donald Trump currently being inexplicably close to presidency, the country is seemingly hanging by a thread. And on the face of it, <b>Stuck Mojo<\/b> seem to be using this to their advantage on new album <i>&lsquo;Here Come The Infidels&rsquo;<\/i>. Provocation seems to be the aim here, given tracks like <i>&#8216;Rape Whistle&rsquo;<\/i> and <i>&#8216;The Business Of Hate&rsquo;<\/i>. Compared to the waves of dime-a-dozen radio metal they often find themselves lumped in with, they do a fair job.<\/p>\n<p>In no way does <i>&#8216;Here Come The Infidels&rsquo;<\/i> set the new standard for politicized metal, but there&rsquo;s at least a sense of awareness here. There&rsquo;s a genuine anger felt on the likes of <i>&#8216;Verbal Combat&rsquo;<\/i>, and with a guitar tone that&rsquo;s more Pantera than Puddle Of Mudd, it conveys such a frustration well. And compared to the usual standard of this sort of thing where &#8216;tact&rsquo; and &#8216;subtlety&rsquo; are essentially foreign words, it&rsquo;s a welcome improvement.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Of course compared to music that&rsquo;s a lot more socially accepted, <b>Stuck Mojo<\/b> don&rsquo;t stand a chance. Robby J. Fonts&rsquo; won&rsquo;t be worrying Kendrick Lamar in terms of political rap considering how clumsy he can be, especially on the godawful grind of <i>&#8216;Destroyer&rsquo;<\/i>, and even with the small bit of bite it has, that can&rsquo;t mask just how base the whole thing sounds.<\/p>\n<p>But at the end of the day, at least <b>Stuck Mojo<\/b> are trying, and they do manage to stand out to some degree. As much as it wants to be, <i>&#8216;Here Come The Infidels&rsquo;<\/i> isn&rsquo;t the most mentally stimulating listen, but for some big, broad metal that&rsquo;s not quite as dumb as its colleagues, <b>Stuck Mojo<\/b> haven&rsquo;t done that bad of a job.<\/p>\n<p>3\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8216;Here Come The Infidels&rsquo;<\/em> by <strong>Stuck Mojo<\/strong> is out now on <strong>Stuck Mojo Music<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stuck Mojo<\/strong> links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/StuckMojo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WeAreStuckMojo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Luke Nuttall (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nuttall_luke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@nuttall_luke<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US is a volatile place at the minute.
