This came out in 2005 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Time has not mellowed Chris Spencer. And no wonder.
Shortly before the release of Unsane’s last album — 1998’s presciently titled Occupational Hazard — the singer-guitarist was nearly killed by street thugs in Austria. Now, after taking a few years off, Spencer is back with a recharged Unsane. And what did not destroy him has only made him stronger. Blood Run, the noise-metal icons’ fifth studio set, is another relentlessly heavy and profusely malevolent assault, with Spencer channeling his consistently murderous rage into a three-pronged attack of power-drill guitar torture, bellowing serial-killer bloodlust and the lumbering sledgehammer wallop of the rhythm section. Let fury have the hour.
