4月に発表したミニ作『昏睡』の続編が到着。持ち前の重音をより磨き上げ、聴き手を甘美かつ過激に制圧する“FASCIST”や、獰猛なブラストビートが唸りを上げる“BREAK AWAY”など、〈死〉を彷彿とさせた内省的な前作を経て、新体制で〈再生〉し、ここから歩み出そうとする意志を叩き付けている。傷だらけになりながらも進軍を続ける心を癒すように奏でられるエンディング“RAY OF LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS”が美しい。


[English Translation]
SCREW  “Kakusei (meaning Wakefulness)”

A sequel of “Konsui (meaning Coma),” the mini album that SCREW released in April, has arrived. Having refined their polyphonic texture, “FASCIST” blows listeners’ mind in a mellifluous but violent manner, and brutal blast beats growl in “BREAK AWAY.” Following the prequel that was reflective and reminiscent of death, SCREW expresses their great determination to make a fresh start with their new guitarist, from right where they are. The final track “RAY OF LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS” plays beautifully as if it would heal the hearts of the soldiers covered in scars and bruises but yet keep charging forward.
