Throwback: “Church of Noise” by Therapy?!
Going all the way back to 1998 and the resurgence of Noise Metal that was “Semi Detached” from Northern Ireland Alternative Metal act Therapy leaves lead single “Church of Noise” as the prime choice for our weekly throwback track. This writer is actually old enough to have owned this on cassette tape with b-side “60 Watt Bulb” with both cuts seeing vocalist and guitarist Andy Cairns at his unhinged finest. At their best a band producing songs packed full of vitriol, discontent and barely-repressed musical aggression, they’re due to celebrate 30 years together in 2022, two years after the anniversary itself and those shows are going to be a head rush… “This goes way beyond beliefs, Take this far away from me, Welcome to the Church of Noise!”
