Shrapknel (Curly Castro & PremRock) – Flechette [project]
ShrapKnel’s self-titled debut hit in 2020 like metal rain beset with predetermined targets. Flechette taps many beatsmiths a la mode as well as bringing back the architects of the LP’s sound ELUCID and Willie Green. Kenny Segal, Blockhead, August Fanon, Blueprint, Small Pro, Analog(ue) Tape Dispenser (War Church), & Jeff Markey round out the roster of incendiary sonics. The only new vocals requested were from that of the inimitable Cavalier and he certainly answered the bell as only the Chief can. Illustrations by repeat Backwoodz offender Shane Ingersoll, complete what we think is a perfect companion piece to the LP… If ShrapKnel was the meal, consider this the flavorful after-dinner smoke, nerve-toxins notwithstanding.
