Swank Sinatra has delivered another collection of raw, bestial shack-shakers for this, the final year of human existence on the planet Earth. Each one of these 12 songs was lovingly crafted between bouts of on-stage vomiting, passing out mid-solo, and touring relentlessly in a 4-door sedan.

El Terrible trades up much of the old-fashioned Swank Sinatra potty humor for a more macabre vitriol. Tales of loose women, the devil, and characters of legend still prevail -- along with the now-refined redline guitar/bass/drum attack of Bob Place, Brandon Pittman and Randy Garcia (who has added "full time drummer" to his role of duties with the brothers Swank).

Now is the time to shed the shackles of last year, to properly prison-shank thine enemy, and to bathe in the glorious entrails of a life well wasted. El Terrible is defiant, definitive and destroying your hearing with its loving embrace. Buy it for $5 and shove it in your dirty little hearing holes.
