Our Take

In a world full of mirrors reflecting back our faces, Raspberry Bulbs invite us to look beyond our own image with their latest album "Before The Age Of Mirrors". This enigmatic offering is a dark and twisted journey through the shadows of our inner selves, as the band masterfully blends elements of punk, black metal, and noise to create a sound that is as unsettling as it is captivating.

From the haunting opening track "Spitting From On High", which lures you in with its hypnotic guitar riffs and eerie vocals, to the frenzied chaos of "Wild On The Streets", Raspberry Bulbs never fail to keep you on your toes. The album's production is raw and gritty, adding to the visceral intensity of each track, while the lyrics delve deep into themes of existential dread and the search for meaning in a world that seems increasingly devoid of it.

Standout tracks like "Light Surrounds Me" and "Doggerel" showcase the band's ability to create music that is both thought-provoking and head-banging, with their infectious energy and infectious melodies. "Before The Age Of Mirrors" is a challenging listen, but one that rewards those brave enough to immerse themselves fully in its murky depths. Raspberry Bulbs have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft, and this album is a testament to their unique vision and uncompromising spirit.
