The aptly named Children Of Paranoia by a Dutch collective of musicians and artists known (with an air of mystery) as The Solos is a dark bombastic heavy metal descent into hell (or insanity) soundscape. It is so over the top that it could be part of the soundtrack to Panos Cosmatos recent bloody phantasmagoric revenge flick Mandy with an equally bombastic (and brilliant) acting performance by Nicolas Cage. Children Of Paranoia is immediately unsettling and beautiful in it's unabashedly scorched earth policy of sound. It is an apocalyptic black hole and I love it.
