Do to the Beast is an appropriately feral title for one of the most intense, cathartic records of Greg Dulli's entire career. It adds fresh twists to The Afghan Whigs canon: there's the film noir storytelling of Black Love, the exuberance of 1965, the brutal introspection of Gentlemen. However, Do to the Beast exudes a galvanized musical spirit and rhythmic heft that suggest transcendence and hope amidst the bloodletting. New pressing on glacial-blue pearlescent vinyl, limited to 1,000 copies.
