Waxing poetic on subjects such as addiction, murder, greed and the general decline of Western civilization while retaining a sense of levity is nothing short of a tall order. However, it is this schizophrenic juxtaposition that is at the very core of Constrictor. The brainchild of 4 high school friends from Virginia Beach, Virginia, the band’s music combines blasts of naked melodic aggression with dual guitar fireworks, pulsating bass and acrobatic drumming to create a sound that brings to mind everything there is to love about rock and roll.
