2 years from the gasping 'Vulture riot' ep, Plebeian Grandstand returns with a full percussive punishment in the name of 'How hate is hard to define'. Forward-thinking, exclusive and colossal, the chaotic lure of the album has taken complexity to new heights and added a healthy dose of incomparable melodic songcraft, for it is Plebeian Grandstand who understood the crescendo-running equation melancolic sounds = death. Hate is hard to define and you won't know which side you belong to.
