And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead @ Electric Ballroom, London, 17.03.05

CAMDEN CRAWL

Amidst moments of clarity and thunder, Sherief Younis provides a further body count to the growing trail of the dead.

23/03/2005

You’ve probably heard one of those classic drummer jokes: Why do bands need Roadies? To translate what the drummer says etc. but tonight the twin drum assault of And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, and more specifically drummer/guitarist/vocalist Jason Reece, the ritual trashing, twin skin bashing and music merry ground teeter on the epic. Behind a literal smokescreen they’re a blur of white light and volatile silhouettes as And You Will Know Us.. bring the thunder.

Wrought with Conrad Keely’s biting vocals, Reece’s abundant energy and guitarist Kevin Allen’s cool cigarette smoking aloof, the onstage chaos is the perfect foil for the blaze of music emanating from the milky distance. It’s a sound practically perfected. Their ability to create a sense of distance heightens a nervously excitable fascination without forfeiting the menacing potential that you’re about to be totally enveloped. A sense of anger and bitterness remains, but is now tempered by a feeling of melancholy delivered with intense splendour. To feel the reverberations in your chest cavity and then hear the echo as they ease into a lactic induced calm is testament to the consistently masterful layering of delicate melodies with a vastly powerful sound. Amidst the moments of clarity and the hammer of dense grass roots rock, Reece continues to run amok with the destructive potential of a great Dane with ADD, as he does everything bar piss on the mic-stand.

The impressively diverse set sustains a tempo so furious that the even the musings of ‘Another Morning Stoner’ is forced through in quick time by an adrenalin fuelled drumbeat. Guitars were smashed, drums were trashed and the bass was thrown into the crowd. To say they’re big on finales would be an understatement but it doesn’t matter when the aftermath feels as glorious as this.
