Jul 10, 2018Protomartyr has yet to let us down, and Consolation assures that they aren't going to anytime soon.

Jun 19, 2018As ever, Protomartyr deliver absolutely unmissable, essential music for and from the darkest of hearts.

Jun 18, 2018It will be interesting to see where Protomartyr go from here and if they can sustain this incredible level of output, but if nothing else, Consolation gives hope that this band will continue to be the real deal (pun intended).

Jun 18, 2018There are not a lot of bands who do what Protomartyr does, and even if there were, the skill and fury of their music would still set them apart, and Consolation is a brief but potent reminder that they're a force to be reckoned with.
