    RAZORCAKE #41 - MOUTH SEWN SHUT "Doomed Future Today” LP
    Say what? Doom-laden reggae? Ska with crust overtones? From a purely visual standpoint, it was pretty easy to write this band off, or at least assume I knew exactly what I was getting. You know: brutal name in scary font. Dead bird on cover. Skull on back cover. LP version on Profane Existence, etcetera. This is me generalizing, right? The jaded reviewer who’s heard it all. Then I put the CD in the player and for a few minutes I’m hearing pretty much what I expected. Then the third song, "World War 3 Is Coming” hits my ears and… they’re playing reggae. Yes its filtered through back patches and a big love for Amebix. Yes the guys still belting his guts out. Yes their pedals are still in the red. But I’ll be goddamned if they’re not playing a weird reggae/ska/crust amalgamation on at least half of this record. And I’m not talking Citizen Fish "clean guitars with horns” either – this stuff’s ugly. It’s dark, dense, and simultaneously manages to be toe-tapping and mired neck-deep in gloom. Lyrics are despondent and generally pretty fucking hopeless. So if you want to measure a bands success by radio play and online downloads this wont do much for you. But if you want to measure success by the fact that they’ve consistently engaged the listener and kept shit really interesting throughout fourteen songs, the Mouth Sewn Shut is coming out on top!
