Bad Brains bassist Darryl Jenifer returns to ROIR, home to the Bad Brains' legendary debut album, to release his solo debut. "In Search of Black Judas" blasts off with hardcore riffs and monstrous grooves, delivered with classic Bad Brains fire and fury and the quickness to shift into downtempo reggae passages. It's a heady and intoxicating mix of sounds that continues a quest for innovation and soulful vibes, anchored by Jenifer's rock steady lines.
From the stripped down rub-a-dub of "Babylon Leave Me Alone" to the dark and ominous "Trinity Rub", an excursion into post-punk-dub akin to PIL or The Ruts, Jenifer's inventive bass builds a rock-steady foundation on each track. "Black Slavery Dayz Mosh" is a charging reggae groove featuring Bad Brain's vocalist HR's twisted and treated vocals. With Intricate, spacious and detailed production "In Search of Black Judas" is an aural pleasure
and long awaited addition to an already grand legacy.
