Fair warning to the sullen, the apathetic, and other members of the too-cool-for-school set: Kane Hodder is coming for you, to uncross arms and rip out hearts; to burn down this world so we can love it all over again. Hodder might have an appetite for destruction, but it also craves revolution, and understands the transformative power of anger as a constructive force. “The Pleasure To Remain So Heartless” is not simply the old good-vs-evil fight redux, but an intense exploration of the gray area where each of us live our lives. It is an assessment of personal accountability in repressive social systems, an indictment of those who refuse to open their hearts, and a desire to understand the place where love and hatred for the world, for each other, for ourselves intersect.

The eleven songs on “The Pleasure To Remain So Heartless” shimmer as the last stars in an apocalyptic sky, or is it the first? Kane Hodder has a lot of hard questions, about topics ranging from social justice to personal relationships, and they’re not allowing anyone, let alone themselves, to get away with the easy answers anymore. The songs riddled with images of cancer, scars, and bile, but also kisses and embraces shift between ecstasy and elegy, spiraling into the darkness in ferocious guitar passages and lyrics screamed like a death-rattle, but just as quickly move back into quieter introspection and tight melodies.
