Black Tapestry’s Compartmental Illness showcases a shift from their signature gothic sound to a more provocative and heavier industrial influence, addressing pressing social and political themes. With punchy, dynamic tracks like “Bootlicker$” and the hypnotic “Progress,” Sisi’s versatile vocals navigate from monotone to dramatic fervor, encapsulating a bold protest spirit suited for today’s challenges.
This album’s assertive commentary raises an intriguing question: How effectively can music serve as a catalyst for social change in today’s polarized climate?
