In 2021 - re-emerging nearly twenty years after its initial inception - somewhat surprisingly, Murder Ballads (Drift) still remains/exists in an area overlooked by other artists, an area that truly still remains the sole province of M.J. Harris / Martyn Bates
Rarely do two types of music meet on a level where they threatento cancel each other out - let alone create something even moremeaningful in their mutual vanishing. But the music created withinthe seminal Murder Ballads (Drift) by Martyn Bates (Eyeless in Gaza & parallel solo career) and Mick Harris (Napalm Death, Lull, Painkiller, Scorn) creates just such a world. Murder Ballads (Drift) evolves Martyn Bates vocalisations / storytelling song-voices, by turns expressed aslabyrinthine layers, calls and responses, muted and distant echoes, sung whispers and counter-melodies, ultimately resulting in amesmeric conversation of musical inferences and correspondences.Murder Ballads (Drift) created the post-isolationist frame of reference, innovating and extemporising into a truly original dazzlingly unique form
