The ' Reaper will get you! SWEET REAPER are THE Californian three-piece and "Closer Still" evokes a cemetary fuzz beast riding previous unseen waves when the end is near. That beach monster has some WIPERS/RAMONE genes, but the thriving bass lines of Danny and Sasha (MASSENGER) booming drums of LOFI-ness are utter deadly tentacles turning around you when veteran singer/guitarist Seth Petterson piercing, exploding vocals will poison you like snake-bites. The insanely loud dark-out-of-the-tomb down-tuned punk sound with one of most devilish catchy howled-out vocals the record is the resurgence of the infection we got with the HEX DISPENSERS first record. As if this is not devastating enough, the witch brewage puts them right next to some more mighty monsters, Seth write and sing overwhelming pop punk hymns which we´ve only heard by RADIOACTIVITY's Jeff lately ( "Faster Getaway", "Sad Eyes") and they sweep skate parks with SPITS-y stompers like "Living Hell" or "S X C". Top ten record of 2020 contender from ALIEN SNATCH! If we go surfing, it´s gonne be a SWEET REAPER surfboard - killer artwork by the band! This album hit us like a brick on lockdown, such an shredding diy gem and a true aural offering of the ALIEN SNATCH! U.F.O League. Remarkable first vinyl by SWEET REAPER, surely not the last!

I know it's an obscure reference, but the singer reminds me of Anneke van Giersbergen from the Gathering. The singer of Romero is a highlight of the band's sound, and the power-pop tunes are driven by her. Looking forward to future releases of this band. Bart

Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
