End Of Suffering (LP)

Recorded in just six months over the heatwave that engulfed London last year, End Of Suffering (named after the Buddhist term for enlightenment) is the sound of a band entering an entirely new realm of the senses, a 40-minute rock'n'rollercoaster of molten-hot bangers, scorched-soul ballads and grunge lullabies laced through with a lacerating lyrical honesty.

With Cam Blackwood (George Ezra/Jack Savoretti) at the helm and legendary mixer Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails/Queens Of The Stone Age) sprinkling sonic stardust, the resultant album sees Carter, co-songwriter and guitar player Dean Richardson and co. not so much spreading their wings as running and leaping headfirst into heretofore uncharted waters.

The album also features Tom Morello as a guest guitarist on "Tyrant Lizard King". The two re-connected after many years at Resurrection Festival in Spain last summer, where Frank infamously sang the Rage classic "Killing In The Name" to a 40,000 strong crowd.
