Recorded in just six months over the heatwave that engulfed London last year, End Of Suffering (named after the Buddhist term for enlightenment) is the sound of a band entering an entirely new realm of the senses, a 40-minute rock'n'rollercoaster of molten-hot bangers, scorched-soul ballads and grunge lullabies laced through with a lacerating lyrical honesty.
With Cam Blackwood (George Ezra/Jack Savoretti) at the helm and legendary mixer Alan Moulder (Nine Inch Nails/Queens Of The Stone Age) sprinkling sonic stardust, the resultant album sees Carter, co-songwriter and guitar player Dean Richardson and co. not so much spreading their wings as running and leaping headfirst into heretofore uncharted waters.
The album also features Tom Morello as a guest guitarist on "Tyrant Lizard King". The two re-connected after many years at Resurrection Festival in Spain last summer, where Frank infamously sang the Rage classic "Killing In The Name" to a 40,000 strong crowd.
