The name, album title, cover artwork and band photo say it all – RRRRRRRAAAAAARRRRWWWW!!! Yes, this is Bullistic – metal the way your mamma intended it.

How appropriate that, coinciding with my listening to Elbow’s Leaders of the Free World, I was reading Vonnegut’s Euphio Question. See, the story, in basics, chronicles three men who harness and transmit radio waves from the stars that, when magnified, create a buzz that makes the listener euphoric.
