In Desolation is loud, angry and melodic.
Off With Their Heads is back with its first album for its new label Epitaph Records. While In Desolation doesn’t have the most attention-grabbing songs ever, it does contain a few great punk-rock hits like Drive and Their Own Medicine. Although the music is loud and angry – perfectly in tune with what you’re hoping for from the band – it’s still possible and enjoyable to hear melodic tunes over the pounding drums. After eight years together, with most of the time spent touring, the band finally made it back to the studio to record only their second studio album ever, to the great joy of dedicated fans.
