Feeling like a shaky and snotty clarion call to the governed to put leadership on notice, it is a hypnotic, throbbing, serrated, abrasive, unsettling first-person account of the building tension as the USA once again flails toward a clash of ideologies in this generation's existential showdown.
Although there is a taut and quivering thread of thematic connection to his previous records, 'Mobocracy', 'Blunt', and ‘Psychotomimetic', Wax mixes influences from Trent Reznor’s Nine Inch Nails, Rob Zombie, Billie Eilish, David Bowie, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan, into an ominous stew that signals yet another head-snapping stylistic jerk of the wheel, as he careens toward whatever creative horizon is filling his windshield. Keep your hands and feet inside the ride, and strap in, kids.
"I love my country, but I'm feeling like the pond reflecting the oncoming stone. I'm seeing a homeland of track-scabbed political junkies in some kind of infinite loop of cold turkey attempts. 'merica has been gleefully mainlining recreational outrage, lies, grift, deception, word salads, zone flooding, and general skullduggery as we retreat to our ideological silos for the big 'lection.”
There seems to be a new species of American homunculus cravenly stalking perceived foes on social media, and sometimes in the flesh. This strain of socio-political golem is hellbent on myopically conjuring, tracking down, trying, and then ruthlessly punishing imagined nemeses at the explicit and implicit direction of unrepentant gurus that most certainly know better.
Silver Tongued Devil is a snapshot of another brave, rickety, and emaciated attempt to rip the monkey off the national back. It doesn't take a genius to see that, throughout history, we always get the leadership we deserve. We must have been a seriously naughty assortment of homo sapiens to be worthy of this recent clutch of contemptible overseers.
Someone needs to perform an exorcism on the soul of America or take our phones away. Until then, I am your maestro, and this is your soundtrack". - Wax
