With eleven new tracks, the high-energy Doncaster band have created a perfect fusion of grunge & punk with hints of metal on their debut album. The speed demon power of 'Whats the Point' which opens up the album is only the start of the raw chaos thats in store. 'IDK' keeps the music roaring, while 'Grass on the Green' shows off the musical control the band has achieved through constant giging up and down the country. For such a yound band they display a knack for ear-worms, 'Libra' with its perfect catchy grunge chorus is an obvious single. 'Potty Meat' feels like the band is falling off a cliff while defying, and laughing right into deaths fucking face.
'Cornello' may be its more sensible evil-twin brother but it stil surges. 'Dear Listener' is a laid back, ethereal shift in mood which shows us that Inertia has many tricks up its sleeve, and is a love letter to their devoted fans. 'Peace of Mind' returns to punk textures, and is the hardest rocking song on the album yet, and a fan favourite. Their lyrics express pure desolation but also hope toward the powers that be, such as on 'Dicktator' a call to arms against tyrants and evil demigods, as it thrashes away leaving bloody faces in its wake. 'Senseless' motors along vitriolic, with a buzzing fuzzbox set on stun, the lyrical barbs personalised and sharpened. 'Scumbag Stitcher' leaves the best for last and is a masterclass rock song, leaving us wanting more sooner than later, they better not take long recording a sophmore album.
Despite the twists of gratuitous Grunge-oid anger that Inertia inflicts throughout the 11 tracks on offer, we feel at home on this record. It's this kind of immediate intimacy which makes Heaven's Glue such a passion-filled ride with its maniac crushing drumming, rumbling catchy bass riffs, and abuse ridden six-string power chords.
