THE FREELANCE HELLRAISER
WEIGHTLESSNESS/PUNK GOD
UGLY TRUTH

One of the original bootleg warriors from earlier in the decade, the Freelance Hellraiser has now relaxed the plundering to record his own album, ‘Waiting For Clearance’. This trailer is tasty, kicking off with ‘Weightlessness’, which shows that he hasn’t lost his penchant for throwing in the kitchen sink as cinematic old 80s riff tussle with orchestral flourishes, bison-sphincter riffage and shouting. The intriguing ‘A Punk Rock Version Of God’ is squelchy and nasty with grunting riff and a tramp’s helmet-shake of rock guitar. Obvious talent afoot here boding well for the album.
