LOUM PRESENTS: Academy Order (PA Goth Rock)

Philadelphian deathrock outfit Academy Order blends oi-flavoured punk energy and classic in-your-face hardcore with the unexpected: a twinkly gothic flair, creating a truly intriguing single called “The Devil Spoke.” If Christian Death, Altar De Fey, Clan of Xymox, The Blitz, Amebix, and Liz Phair decided to form an alliance with the woodland fey to vanquish this evil, you’d have the vibe of The Devil Spoke (Protagonist Music). This dirge of betrayal (and the veritable prison of rage it sparks) plays off as a classic boy-girl conversational duet. The call-and-response lyrics describe a personal hell of anger, memory holes, and vindictiveness: its combination an emotional ouroboros, offered to us from the Devil himself.
