Let You And Me Be One

“At times very much in the garage punk metal style, Whipping Princess retains the s&m flavorings of original genre trailblazers Morticia & Genitorturers, yet there again WP is of a much rawer edge, like shredded glass in cocaine. It will make you bleed, but after you ride you get back in the line for another go-round. In a few spots the band really shine; the three-in-a-row beginning with song #2 Evil Mind, then through the title cut and ending with Theatre Of Pain represent the big beat blues laced sludge with melody that can be said is the bands core. While ep ender Endless Pain again bring you back into the dungeon, with the grinding riff & stone cold deadpanned vocals; the band, after all, wants another shot at tanning that raw ass - A headbanger's delight! ”

Cruel Machine Strongly Recommended

“This is the second release I've gotten from the band. I thought the first a couple of years ago was cool, but Cruel Machine is much improved. From song structures to production, vocals and drive, Cruel Machine comes in a nicer package than it's predessessor. While the darker corners are still there, center stage are the great songs, cool grooves and the unique vocalizations of Rosetta Garrì; displayed in it's many forms on the title cut, which is but one of the many singles quality songs contained on this album. Another is Thunderstorm, which displays the aforementioned conglomeration of vocal feats, from gluped air psuedo punk to soaring gothic angel. The underpinning of all this wonderful throat are the sound paintings of Dario Passamonti; using the right mix of color, dissonance, flow, pattern and volume, his music creates image and visual when partaken. This is a rare feat artistically, done by the better ones, and when coupled with live performance, if the Spiritual Bat can bring accross, there will be times not to be forgotten. As we enter into late 2011, this is one of the top five releases I've gotten all year. It's stayin' in rotation indefinitely.”

Stained Glass Blasphemy Strongly Recommended

“45 minutes of heavy and hard Irish jam. Metal with a traditional/hardcore/new-death turbulent mix like they don't make 'em much anymore. Full of piss and vinegar with a side of smoking guitar. It's death and darkness to the core on a screetched out rumbling wave of destruction. There is plenty of thrash, histronics and technicalities. Vocals are of the non-singing razor blades n hemoragging type. Which tends to be genre specific, but fits the profile just fine, whatever you want to say about it. There are a few spots where the band just kills, track 6 - Darkness, seems to be a calling card, complete with grindstone riffs and wicked burning stabs, flying about a progressive bass section which goes from big groove to blast beat with ease. There are more than a few moments. Definite Underground Collectible.”
