What do you get when you mix a popular American ’80s sitcom, a ragtag group of brewers, and the Scottish term for the cut to the face of Heath Ledger’s Joker?¹ Apparently, some Greek groove metal. Since Vagelis Karzis (former live bassist for Rotting Christ) formed Full House Brew Crew in 2009, the band has had a fairly consistent lineup. They’ve also been somewhat consistent with album releases, as Glasgow Grin marks their fifth, though there was a seven-year gap between their second, Bet it All (2011), and third, Me Against You (2018). Karzis appears to have formed the band in order to channel an inner rage, which comes out through the lyrics and aggressive performances. In Texas hold ’em, you love to have a full house in hand—let’s see if a Full House Brew Crew brings the same joy.

Glasgow Grin channels a red-hot, violent anger through a mix of groove metal, hardcore, metalcore, and nu-metal. This anger emanates from Karzis’s loud, punky vocal style. He shouts all sorts of angry, violent proclamations, letting us know he’s “ready for war / It’s time to fight” on opener “Glasgow Grin.” On “No Gods, No Chains,” he sounds like an angry version of the Beastie Boys when he shouts, “every breath I take, it just fuels my / Rage.” There’s a sort of macho nihilism in the lyrics as Karzis portrays a world requiring violence, or the threat of it, in order to survive. This comes off in the straight-for-the-throat instrumentation as well, with mid-paced blast beats pounding mercilessly and guitars buzzing angrily. Full House Brew Crew unsuccessfully emulate the swagger of Pantera with lines like “Welcome to the other side / You fucking bitch” used as a mic drop (“The Other Side”). The anger often serves less as a cathartic outlet than an expression of meanness.

Full House Brew Crew struggle to write any hooks to help the music stand out. Right off the bat, “Glasgow Grin” sounds like little more than a mood piece lacking melody and structure. Not only that, but many of the songs are surprisingly low energy for material that’s so irate. Glasgow Grin also provides a mixed bag in the chorus department. Some songs sound so uniform that the chorus goes by without notice (“The Tear”), or they have a clear chorus that’s just not very good (“The Other Side”). “No Gods, No Chains” has some success with its memorable, chant-y chorus, and there are moments where Full House Brew Crew shows flashes of hooks, such as the guitar lead on “No Gods, No Chains” and some djenty riffs that channel After the Burial and Born of Osiris (“The Tear,” “Distant Star”). Unfortunately, these moments are few and often fail to land.

The second half of Glasgow Grin starts off as though it’s going to redeem the record’s rather bland first half. Two tunes, “Rain” and “Distant Star,” make use of cleans for some pretty catchy choruses that break up the monotonous rage. Full House Brew Crew is also more experimental on these tracks, going into some progressive spells with a warbly, dreamy solo on “Rain” and an arpeggiated bridge on “Distant Star” that reveal some depth to their songwriting. “From the Gutter” probably best demonstrates where the band could succeed with its more aggressive songwriting. It has a lively, energetic feel missing on much of the album, but unfortunately, it fails to stick the landing when the final minute devolves into random, Gojira-style harmonics. From there, Glasgow Grin struggles to find its footing again. “Crawling” plays a grating guitar tone for almost its entirety, and “Reign of Terror” has a weird breakdown in its final moments that concludes the record on a deflatingly flat note.

Rather than a grin, this risks painting a permanent Glasgow Scowl on your face. Fortunately, Full House Brew Crew cuts enough fat that the album’s over in a brief 34 minutes. There are certainly glimpses here and there of where they could take their groove metal in a more successful direction. However, the pure rage channeled through piss-poor production values often feels like an angry version of Steve Carell mindlessly yelling, “I love lamp.” Maybe there’s some catharsis, but mostly it’s just a headache.

Dark synthwave trio Gunship are back with a new single that they’re describing as their “most ferocious track yet” with “Tell Me When the World Stops Ending”. And while it’s definitely melodic in parts, boy does the group dip their toes into the metal and industrial side of things with this one.

Written and released for John Carpenter’s upcoming zombie apocalypse video game Toxic Commando, “Tell Me When the World Stops Ending” is a punchy, synth-laden tune that sounds like it would be the perfect soundtrack to kicking zombies’ asses. Having worked with Carpenter on “Tech Noir” and “Tech Noir 2”, the band said the decision to work with him on this project was simple — “When John Carpenter calls… you answer!”

“We grew up utterly obsessed with John’s films and his iconic soundtrack work. His artistry has been a constant source of inspiration and continues to shape the music we create as GUNSHIP. Having been fortunate enough to collaborate with him on two of our own tracks, saying yes when we were invited to contribute to his video game was an instant ‘HELL YEAH!’”

Gunship even contributed to the game’s release by working on the trailer, which you can also check out below.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando will be released on March 12 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S and X. You can check out a demo and pre-order your copy today.
