Oxeneers or The Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home

Formed from the ashes of seminal art thrashers Botch and Minneapolis hardcore heroes Kill Sadie, Seattle's These Arms Are Snakes are filled to the brim with sinister guitar licks, equal parts snarly vocals, and a pension for ethereal and spaced-out musical interludes. 'Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home' is, in many ways, the completion of the promise made with the potential of last year's 'This Is Meant to Hurt You' EP. The new album sparkles with a tight, visceral momentum, both angular and infectious. This is the record These Arms Are Snakes set out to make, a confident testimonial, a vicious revision, and a true confrontation in every sense of the word.
