Destroyer of Light - Generational Warfare

Another year, another awesome Destroyer of Light release. It's hard not to be impressed by a band dropping their eighth release since 2012. In that time the group has grown by leaps and bounds. I've been in touch with them for over half of their career and it's been an honor to get to watch their evolution. That all being said, this latest offering, Generational Warfare, a two song EP featuring a cover of The Cure's classic 'Lullaby' is one of my favorite things that they have ever done. It's a potent offering that reminds us the band is here to stay.

Generational Warfare is an interesting record because it shows us exactly how far the band has evolved. Not only that though, but Generational Warfare indicates massive personal development from the band. Their cover of 'Lullaby' is absolutely masterful. It is the full realization of what the band has been hinting at for years. It's fun, emotional and wonderfully powerful. It's as if in that moment Destroyer of Light fully embrace the band they were destined to be. The other track - 'These Walls...' is a psyched out offering, far from the groups usual doom fare, but definitely an interesting listen. It shows a side of the band we don't often get to see!

In terms of production and execution, Destroyer of Light have grown by leaps and bounds. They eagerly embrace new emotional depths and seem to routinely push the boundaries on what they can really achieve. It means that Generational Warfare is a thrilling listen through and through, a record that leaps from peak to peak and serves as a potent reminder that Destroyer of Light are one of Austin's great heavy bands. It's hard not to be enamored with what they are doing here and the deeper I delve, the more I love.
