It’s lastly right here! The sixth studio LP from Ohio horrorcore trio Alla Xul Elu. Consisting of Billy Obeyas nicely as Joey Black & Lee Carver, they broke out a decade in the past as a duo by releasing their first 2 albums Head of Horns & Sci-Co that very same 12 months. This was adopted up with their 4/20-themed debut EP Necronomichron in 2017 & including Carver into the fold shortly after, however it wasn’t till Twiztid signed them to Majik Ninja Leisure in 2018 when the Xul Boys’ music bought more and more higher. Their MNE debut The Almighty is definitely the best horrorcore album of the 2010s, their 2019 sophomore EP Church of Xul took a a lot darker method, Mauxuleum made it within the prime 10 of my Finest Releases of 2020 checklist regardless of them ditching their signature growth bap sound for a extra industrial, entice steel path & Necronomichron 2: Lifeless by Bong was a superior sequel to their 4/20 EP. The Magic Xul Bus was a dope prelude to a physique of labor that’s been a very long time & Mike E. Clark has lastly teamed up with them to look at the Gods of Evil Rise.

After the intro, the primary tune “Paint the City Pink” is that this rap rock intro speaking about leaving 36 muhfuckas useless of their metropolis whereas the 2nd & closing single “Horns Over Halos” references 2-time WWE Corridor of Famer, former 6-time WWE Champion, 2-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, 2-time WWE United States Champion, 5-time WWE Tag Staff Champion & NWA World Tag Staff Champion Stone Chilly Steve Austin.

“The Cleaning” infernally talks in regards to the sky being cracked in half with completely nothing we are able to do about it in any way previous to the lead single “‘Until We Meat” wickedly will get of their storytelling bag discussing the names of the individuals they’ve killed wanting on the Tinder app. “Mild Up My Life” describes the sensation of being trapped in a single’s personal pores and skin as a prisoner & hiding in one other’s taking part in the songs they appreciated whereas “Let It Burn” calls out the hypocrisies of the church buildings.

As for “Suicide Drive”, we’ve Xul menacingly speaking about commuting vehicular suicide for the reason that demise cell wants a trip & they are often caught at a excessive pace simply earlier than “God Broken” turns up the rap rock influences suggesting this being unavoidable & get pleasure from it sitting again. “Make Imagine” talks about the potential of the trio by no means making it to heaven & I can relate to that theme personally after I’m at my lowest, however then “Spill Your Guts” feels extra like a skit.

“Herd the Horde” fuses g-funk, horrorcore & growth bap collectively asking what you’re praying for & to signal your life away whereas “The Saints” talks about the one guideline within the shadow of demise being all life remaining forbidden together with elevating the homicide charges. “From the Coronary heart” makes a dedication to the misplaced & lonely ones assuring they’re not alone in any way surviving amongst their higher judgments & “Wave Goodbye” serves as this humorous skit used as an outro.

It’s been mentioned this was within the works for a number of years at this level & many thought it wouldn’t ever see the day. Now that it’s right here, it lived as much as my expectations reaching the bar The Almighty had set 7 years in the past with one other generational horrorcore basic & what may probably be their closing MNE launch to deal with regularly constructing LLE because it’s personal factor. Mike E. Clark’s manufacturing prime to backside continues to be as inventive when working with Psychopathic Information founders Insane Clown Posse & Prime Canine Information founder Child Rock’s, bringing Xul’s well-crafted horrorcore lyrics to life soundtracking it.
