SPILL ALBUM REVIEW: WARFIELD – DEATHROCK DEVOTIONALS

WARFIELD
DEATHROCK DEVOTIONALS
BLACK HEATHERS/CLEOPATRA RECORDS

Justin Warfield of She Wants Revenge has released Deathrock Devotionals, a focused exploration of early Los Angeles deathrock and post-punk. The album captures the authentic electric atmosphere of the 1980s Los Angeles underground, featuring strong goth energy and synth.

Singles like “All The Fun” and “Only Shadows” showcase strong storytelling and a distinct sepia feel. While this style may not appeal to everyone right away, the album benefits from a few repeated listens in the correct atmosphere. Themes of time, regret, and mortality are prominent and will resonate with certain listeners, and probably you as well, if you yearn for that bygone era.

This album leans more toward goth than punk, so keep your expectations there. It’s a lullaby for insomniacs, so if you enjoy darker sounds and synthesizers, you’ll find this a powerful and meaningful experience.
