Album Review:...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead Tao of the Dead

Experimental hard-rock-punk group ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead from Austin, Texas created another masterpiece of rock n' roll theatre with Tao of the Dead earlier this year.    These young men brought themselves to attention nearly ten years ago with Source Codes and Tags, which blended the noises of The Alarm, Failure, with Fugazi.    AYWKUBTTOD's newest is engorged thick with studio wizardry and welcome hints of rock heritage from front to back.    Tao of the Dead is the antidote for the redundant hard rock/punk that exists within our ionosphere.
