manchester three-piece kong's relentless sonic assault against all things conventional and boring gathers momentum this july with the release of their eagerly anticipated debut album, 'snake magnet'. previous singles 'blood of a dove' and 'leather penny' blazed a trail for their unconventional sound and showcased their devastating ability to craft heavy, ferocious punk songs. these early glimpses promised much; and snake magnet does not disappoint. bruising bass-lines, face-meltingly intense guitar riffs, beautifully fashioned soundscapes and hauntingly bleak and isolated vocals combine to form an album dripping with existential angst. the release also contains a dvd featuring live footage, interviews and random stuff offering a window into the twisted but engaging world of kong.
