Theatre Of Hate - Day Of The Dog

Review by Elizabeth Healy

Day Of The Dog by Theatre Of Hate is a powerful and intense album that showcases the band's unique blend of post-punk, gothic rock, and tribal rhythms. From the opening track "Do You Believe In The Westworld" to the closing "Propaganda", the album is a tour de force of dark, brooding music that is both atmospheric and visceral.

The album features the distinctive vocals of frontman Kirk Brandon, who delivers his lyrics with a raw and passionate intensity that is both captivating and haunting. The band's use of tribal percussion and atmospheric synths creates an otherworldly soundscape that is both menacing and hypnotic.

Standout tracks on the album include "Judgement Hymn", a haunting and atmospheric ballad that showcases Brandon's vocal range, and "The Wake", a propulsive and driving track that features a pulsating bassline and tribal drums.

Summary by Elizabeth Healy

Day Of The Dog is a must-have album for fans of post-punk and gothic rock. It is a timeless classic that still sounds fresh and relevant almost four decades after its release.
