“the songs move with serious confidence, speeding up into double-time or disappearing into silence at the exact right moment every time. When this sound is this well-executed, it makes for an incredibly satisfying listen. Hearing it is like watching the spectacular calamity in a good disaster movie. And on Darker Days Ahead, they keep that consistency up even when they move outside of hurtling D-beat rhythm schemes — as on the itchy doom-metal thud of “Black Against Night” or the verging-on-black-metal evilness of “The Feeding Hour.” They’re the rare punk band whose command of atmosphere is just as strong as their gift for velocity, and their continued existence is a gift to all of us.”
