'In 10 years Florida's label Total Punk, now based in Portland, has managed to make the tag "100% Total Punk", enough guarantee by itself, so you can bet on any of their references with your eyes closed without fear of being wrong. Seven years after their last album, the new full-length from Atlanta's absolutely killer Predator couldn't make that statement any truer and we can assure you that this piece of raw muscled minimalist dark punk is one of the great albums of this 2021!" https://totalpunkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/spiral-unfolds
Official release date: May 28, 2021
"Total Punk is keeping things in Atlanta, following up GG KING's 'Remain Intact' with PREDATOR's new album 'Spiral Unfolds.' The two bands share members including Ryan Bell who masterfully recorded both albums. Atlanta has the the best punk scene going and Predator are one of its longest running practitioners. Despite the seven years since their last full length, and vocalist Brannon Greene splitting time between Predator and his other projects, Hospice and Nag (both of which just dropped new albums), 'Spiral Unfolds' shows the band still rules the void. The wiry punk minimalism of their previous outings still intact but complemented with a bit more muscle courtesy of the interplay between the two buzzsaw guitars. Brannon's android tinged vocals occasionally giving off a Tubeway Army gone hardcore vibe. 'Spiral Unfolds' is Predator at it's peak. Hypnotic, driving, and 100% TOTAL PUNK."
