Brethren and the Evil Empire returns with their fourth album in six years, a dark and melodious project called Green On Silver. Songs about isolation, hate, hope, and despair hum with catchy riffs and haunting overtones. Songs like Every Guilty Stain and Pirates sound as if they could accompany a climatic scene in a major film, while darker outings like Suicide Slide and Mother Says are so dark as to scare away the devil himself. The question is, are you brave enough?
