Twitching Tongues’ style is indeed hard to pin down, as Decibel scribe Chris Dick posits in his write-up of their new song “World War V.” Of the many bands he name-checks in his attempt to nail it, I hear the most of Life of Agony, Cro-Mags and Celtic Frost; the band’s oveall approach is decidedly rooted in punk, but there are less-than-subtle metal overtones all over the place. The vocals will surely be polarizing, but I’m always a fan of anything that’s not modern-metal-vocals-by-numbers.
