Vision Video : Inked in Red - CD
Ref: 22595
Fronted by an Afghanistan war veteran, Athens/Georgia (USA) based goths offer a take on the genre that's both strikingly melodic and informed by the horrors of lived experience. In its darkest form, post-punk is an atrocity exhibition, drawing on horrors both real and imagined to hold up a mirror to humankind's worst tendencies. On their debut album, Inked in Red, the ultra-goth outfit Vision Video honor this tradition by closing with a cover of “Agent Orange,” a grim, Vietnam War-inspired song released in 1980 by the brooding Brixton dub-punk outfit Ski Patrol. Vision Video's take is largely reverential, right down to the near-identical running times, but with one crucial difference. Ski Patrol singer Ian Lowery sings about being burned alive on the battlefield with an icy detachment that gradually thaws into hot-blooded panic, but Vision Video frontman Dusty Gannon sounds unsettled from the jump. In fact, for Gannon, singing from the perspective of a besieged soldier isn't mere cosplay.
