Silent Scream-Public Execution

For fans of: Being a post-punk/80's throwback, being unemployed, writing an under appreciated music blog that you should really update more often, early Swans

This is by far one of the best albums I have heard all year. This hardly known Finnish post-punk act destroyed all competition in my mind by releasing an album that revived a genre that many thought was long dead (I mean, whatever, Savages did that as well I guess). Silent Scream channels the dark era of post-punk in stark contrast to the modern post-punk acts like The Arctic Monkeys or Interpol(great bands certainly, but I think there is a lot of unexplored territory within the so called "post-punk revival" movement). Serving as a medium for such diverse acts as Siouxsie and the Banshees, Swans, and PIL this band is able to deliver an album that resurrects both the alienating and the dance-pop aspects of post-punk. Essentially, they made an album in 2012 that catered exactly to my tastes that I just found out about so I'm going to rave. Please go support this band, keep Goth alive so I can keep finding material for my blog (Also, Rotten Days is so simultaneously punk-funk and heavy industrial Swans that Silent Scream deserve all your money anyway)
