Frank Carter was the frontman of angry punk band Gallows, until he quit the Watford group in 2011 owing to creative differences.
Having recently become a father and now singing in his third group in four years, the heavily-tattooed Carter has found his fire again on Blossom, a death-fixated record full of piss and vinegar.
He screams over the pile-driving riffs of Juggernaut and lets rip with an onslaught of invective on I Hate You, as well as audibly gobbing during Paradise. Yet you feel his pain on Loss and Beautiful Death.
This comeback is raw, unremitting and perhaps even more incendiary than Gallows. However, you really need to be a fan of Frank Carter to stomach his righteous anger and despair for an entire album.
