It shakes, it thrashes, it moves in ways the traditional buzz and screech routine just doesn’t. That’s why Master calls his music Purple Metal. That’s not really something you hear in black metal. Master has a cockiness I could never emulate but I still highly admire, mainly because he’s got the songs to back it up, and I just love that he has a song called “I Am The Man of Your Dreams” on here. Broken Play is him, and better yet, it’s more him. Two of his finest moments on here, and across his work, are “My Last Song” a coda as an intro that’s packed with hooks, and “Babychain,” one of his most furious songs that doesn’t stray from his inner heart. “Future Panther” is super thrashy, and the title track goes down some Swedish alleys, like Anti-Cimex running into Nifelheim, getting into a brawl, then making up with a couple more lashes. He embraces the metalpunk he’s always been, making a full-length that’s as furious as his EPs. And in a decade of bangers, Broken Play is his finest work.
