The Damned, “Evil Spirits” (Search and Destroy / Spinefarm Records)- The Damned were always one of the most musically accomplished bands to emerge from the punk movement of the late seventies, and they return to the fray after a ten year absence from the recording process with a splendid new album overseen by legendary producer Tony Visconti of David Bowie and T.Rex fame. This crowd-funded masterwork leans heavily on the creative contributions of founder members Dave Vanian and Captain Sensible as The Damned unveil an eclectic package graced with memorable ditties such as “Standing On The Edge of Tomorrow,” “Devil In Disguise” and the sublimely Gothic “Shadow Evocation” for your listening pleasure.
