Why it's here

Bolted feels less produced than assembled from damp timber, rusted metal and low-frequency shadow. Forest Swords cuts the structures sparse, but the percussive fragments and heavy atmosphere make every empty patch occupied. 'Munitions', 'Rubble', 'Caged', 'Tar': eleven tracks and the titles are all things left behind.
