popmatters:
What draws contemporary musicians to the music of the late æ70s and early
æ80s is generally nothing surprising or premeditated. ItÆs more than
likely a result of musicians who grew up with the dark pop of the times
etched into their simple minds and who want to express this part of their
musical genesis in adult life. 2013 has served up some of the best
æ80s-inspired albums, largely within the metal realm (although the æ80s
post-punk/goth influence within metal is nothing new), as bands like
Vaura and In Solitude have both demonstrated their love for this
particular movement on their latest (greatest) releases. Unlike these
bands, Beastmilk have more in common with the current æ80s-inspired
groups who reside outside of metal û Interpol, Iceage, Editors, or
Spectres û due to the fact that they donÆt use post-punk/goth to add
flavour to their metallic brew, be it post-black metal (Vaura) or
traditional heavy metal (In Solitude). Alternatively, Beastmilk embrace
the repetition and minimalism of æ80s post-punk/goth wholeheartedly while
retaining the heaviness and the dark lyricism of metal, as the
self-professed ôapocalyptic post-punkö band weaves bleak Cold War-inspired
tales of nuclear death into the neurological throb of the bass-lines,
the unfussy yet propulsive drum-beats, and the wintry,
dystopian echo of the guitars.
