"Just like tales of human suffering, or stories of great heroic deeds, the blues gets retold with each passing generation. The blues itself is, essentially, a simple, clever, simple musical formula that gets to the heart of most people’s woes.
Similar to the advancements in technology, human aspirations, or killer viruses, so the humble musical form change over time. Interestingly, although, perhaps not surprisingly, harder-edged rock music, has embraced the blues more than any other popular style of music.
Modern screamo, post-hardcore, and the newer tendencies in metal are, for the most part, a modernized, amplified, technically versatile version of the blues. Strange Gods’ Less than zero shows a band playing on the very edge, both sonically and emotionally. It’s a musical vision that fully embraces feelings of emptiness, only to shout them back out. The dynamics and writing show a band willing to develop their craft."
