Sometimes the hero in the movie has to put on their black leather jacket and go someplace menacing (like an autobody shop) in order to get valuable information. These menacing places are usually playing some pretty intimidating music. Music like Who Carries the Lantern's "Delectus Personae" a perfect piece by which to bludgeon and/or be bludgeoned. If you forgot your blunt weapon, that's OK, just turn this track up a little bit past half-way and any unsuspecting soul will be caught momentarily off-guard by the sheer brutality of WCtL's savage rhythm section (although one gets the idea that the entire band is the rhythm section). And it was recorded in an auto body shop.

"Delectus Personae" starts with a 7.5 second squeal of feedback/..noise, the kind of which makes one check all their connections to make sure that the audio equipment is properly set-up. After this brief test of the Emergency Hardcore Broadcast System, the group slams into place like an anvil hitting a dusty floor. The band is almost mathematically precise in their guitar-less rhythmic performance, thundering in perfect time with one another like a well-..choreographed beating.

The vocals are harsh in the way you might expect, but there is a distinct feeling of solidarity to the sound of "Delectus Personae." Sometimes the vocals that come with such hard music sound almost tortured by the other sounds, but they sound perfectly at home in the ultimately tasty "Delectus Personae."
