Birmingham's Stinky Wizzleteat create a brand of sludge and hardcore-flavoured heaviness which they have perfected in this debut full-length album, compiling a supreme selection of tracks brimming with fury and menace; an audio catharsis channeled through the power of killer riffs.
From the ferocious kick of opener 'Julia Louis Dreyfus' through to vitriolic closer 'We Are Kenyans, Not Phillistines', Teat Law is driven by heavy-as-hell grooves and embellished with angular rhythmic twists and lead lines, while vicious screams and growls punctuate the maelstrom. The prevailing feel of the album is a mixture of malevolence and desolation, each track awash with suffocatingly thick distortion while still maintaining a punk-like high energy level. This onslaught lets up slightly for the album's slow-burning centrepiece, 'Ironic Veneration of Tyrants', a punishing lesson in the invocation of despondency. Elsewhere, there's doom riffs and Melvins-esque chugging ('Robohymen and Persuadoboy'), T.V and film samples throughout that range from abstract to absurd (the brilliant lead-in to 'Wank Fantasy', for example) and positively monolithic breakdowns ('Stoner Moms').
