๐ฌ๐ง The Cure "Standing on a Beach - The Singles" โ 1986
Great chronological flow. You can actually hear Robert Smith and The Cure changing in front of you. From the angular beginnings, through the dark trilogy of Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography, and towards the more accessible sound that would make the band international stars...

Wailin Storms โ The Arsonist Review By Creeping IvyUpon making landfall on the shores of AMG, Southern goth rock outfit Wailin Storms stirred up strong sentiments in our esteemed staff. Madam X praised this Texas-turned-North Carolina quartetโs One Foot in the Flesh Grave (2015) for its โoddly dark and tricksyโ swirl of Danzig and 16 Horsepower. Since this (Great) debut, subsequent squalls have been weaker but still potent. Cherd found Rattle (2020) a moving, if unvaried, gust of โdark psychedelic twang,โ while The Silver Snake Unfolds (2022) blew fresh air into the bandโs โfire-and-brimstone snake handling speaking in tongues nightmare music.โ 1 In the Year of Our Lord 2026, Wailin Storms play The Arsonist on their new home, Season of Mist. Conjuring a conflagration for their fifth album, these Durham doom-punk goth rockers may once again set fire to the Score Safety Counter.
The Arsonist stokes the shift Wailin Storms started around Rattle. There, the band refined their swampy pastiche into a more measured fusion of their influences. Past outings in this idiom suffered from songwriting redundancy and sore-thumb tracks. The Arsonist, however, proceeds as a dynamically-sequenced, organically-produced dance between barn burners and smoldering pits. โDead Endโ ignites the album with the darkly driving guitar enmeshments of Justin Storms and Ben Melton. Meanwhile, โYou Never Answeredโ bursts with spasmodic rhythms from drummer Mark Oates and bassist Steve Stanczyk. Even when the fires abate, Wailin Storms bring the heat. โHeart of Mineโ and โThe Arsonistโ excel at slow-burn setups with sizzling sendoffs, singeing the skin from within. Whether in the energetic or meditative category, the songs consistently hit the spot, feeling wrought to just the right degree. At 45 minutes, The Arsonist breathes when it needs to and scorches when it wants to.
The apex of this blaze are the vocals of Justin Storms, who mightily impresses with his range. Stormsโs wail has recalled Glenn Danzig since Flesh Grave, and it continues to power some affecting choruses (โYou Never Answered,โ โThe Arsonistโ). Subsequent releases, however, have seen the frontman branch out beyond the Shirtless Wonder. On The Arsonist, Storms incorporates stylings akin to the silky mid-range of Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) and the alien warbling of Thom Yorke (Radiohead). On that latter reference: Stormsโs voice, at its most tender and brittle, brilliantly inflects somber material that wouldnโt sound out of place on Hail to the Thief (โHeart of Mine,โ โItโs All Dark Now Where Your Eyes Used to Beโ). He even dips into some down nโ dirty blues moans, mixed with a flitting falsetto (โSavedโ). Storms is not the only voice on The Arsonist, though; Melton melts faces with aggro shouts, imbuing the blues rock with a noisy edge (โDead End,โ โNever Restโ).2 As thrilling a display as Iโve heard in 2026, The Arsonist stands as a surefire frontrunner for Vocal Performance oโ the Year.3
Criticisms of The Arsonist are minimal and wispy, affording opportunities for further praise. Lighting a spark and growing into a flashover, The Arsonist does falter a tad in its pre-decay transition. โPatient Nightโ pleases with fun, shaker-fueled shimmies, but itโs a bit simplistic and truncated, comparatively speaking. Following this tune is โThe Wind,โ a more expansive number possessing sweet pseudo-metal punctuations. Its subdued ending, however, feels like a slightly redundant transition into the excellent closing piano ballad (โItโs All Dark Nowโฆโ). Another nitpick concerns lyrics. The Arsonist excels at marrying emotional realism with surrealist imagery. But one moment always sticks out: the punk ending of โNever Rest,โ where Storms snarls an equally punk rallying cry (โFuck your fucking warโฆFuck your fucking warโ). Iโm no puritan when it comes to profanity, and I like a good protest song as much as the next guy. Alas, something about these lyrics momentarily takes me out of the albumโs arrestingly eerie aura.
Extinguishing these critical flamelets reveals a Safety Counter set ablaze. After three attempts, I didnโt think Wailin Storms would ever again produce an album as great as One Foot in the Flesh Grave. The Arsonist proved me wrong, though itโs greatness is of a different kind. Whereas Flesh Grave grounds its twists and turns in Danzigian blues rock/metal, The Arsonist enchants with its seamless shifts between combustible laments and fiery bangers. Arson may be a crime, but missing out on The Arsonistโwhether youโre a longtime fan or a newcomer to Wailin Stormsโwould be the real crime.
