Evil Age by New Society (Review)

Arguably the best stuff from New Society since 1990’s True Faith cassette. Some tracks fall into mediocrity, but there are also a number of solid pieces on this 19-song release. It seems as if the band is still searching for their sound, though, as their influences remain apparent in a number of places. Songs inspired by Ministry, Depeche Mode, and The Cure can all be picked out with relative ease. Lyrically, the message is as up-front as ever, with topics remaining focused on current problems and their relation to biblical revelations. It’s good to hear growth with this band — the future looks quite bright for New Society.
