« Terminal » follows hot on the heels of LIMB’s self-titled debut of 2014, but takes an enormous leap forward. Perhaps it’s the result of playing across the UK on tour with labelmates Black Moth, and the introduction of new drummer Tom Mowforth (ex-Uncle Acid), but LIMB are now more explosive than ever before. Where the debut showcased their thick, loping, and stripped-down sound, « Terminal » cranks up the sonics, mashes the grooves, and ups the filth quotient to truly corrosive levels.

In their quest to take things to the next planet, LIMB hooked up with legendary extreme metal producer Russ Russell (Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir, Evile, etc.). A bold move, but together they’ve created a monolithic statement of intent. « Terminal » is a down-tuned and dirty barrage of monumental riffs, in fact it sounds like worlds exploding.

Keeping all the mammoth groove that is LIMB’s trademark, « Terminal » ups the tempos and infuses it all with a thick, stoner vibe. It’s an album which can easily hold it’s own against Yob’s, Conan’s, The Swords’ of this world, at the same time as ploughing its own singular furrow. Thematically, the album addresses the prospect of absolute destruction and the possibility of life thereafter, which is echoed in the album’s artwork, a startling retro-futuristic collage by Cur3es(responsible for the art of FuManchu’s ‘Gigantoid’).
