The Howl’s music is a gloomy, ponderous hybrid of post punk, alternative and gothic rock. They incorporate some excellent doses of coarse guitar work with static drum beats that fit quite well with the overall somber soundscapes that materialize throughout the album… The Howl were label mates with Oedius Scream, who were another outstanding obscure gothic rock darkwave band, but Oedius had been heavily influenced by Bauhaus. This looks to be The Howl’s only full length output…Highly recommended for the vinyl enthusiasts…. Out of print private pressing via Dresser Records, Rochester, New York.
