Rollins Band: Henry Rollins (vocals); Chris Haskett (guitar); Melvin Gibbs (bass guitar); Sim Cain (drums). Liner Note Author: Henry Rollins. Henry Rollins is a coffee achiever. The erstwhile Black Flag frontman has written books, started book publishing and record companies, established himself as a major spoken-word performer, appeared in several films and, oh yeah, he's got his own band. On COME IN AND BURN, another fine Rollins Band album cut with the same efficient, take-no-prisoners, accept-no-excuses style as the rest, Rollins doesn't so much sing as declaim, either in a creepily distant monotone or an urgent bark. This vocal style makes perfect sense here, as anything else would clash with the workmanlike thrash-metal churned out by the band. It is the Rollins Band's intention to pummel its listeners into submission, so the lack of subtlety and shifting dynamics is a functional necessity. Rollins' lyrics offer enough tales of pain, self-hatred and depression to make an afternoon TV talk show host drool, but he faces these emotions head on, with no sentimentality or pretension.
