  • Description

    2nd album from this "all-star" raw punk / d-beat band coming out from Sweden. If you miss Totalitar - you are at the right place. Why "all-star" band? Just imagine current line-up members and their experiences in bands like Warcollapse, Slutet, Totalitar (eh!), Dischange, Krigshot, Makabert Fynd, Dissekerad, Krig I Hudik, Katastrof, Institution, Brainbombs, Napalm A.D., Desperate Fix, Kvoteringen, Meanwhile, Disfear, No Security or Aaritila ... and many more. This is album of the year!

    Review: I'm going to say a few things, outing my lameness, before I even get started on the listening. One, I have heard of this band, and I am familiar with their insane punk pedigree of band members (INSTITUTION, SLUTET, WARCOLLAPSE, KRIGSHOT, TOTALITAR, NO SECURITY--yes, I'm still going--AARITILA, DISFEAR, MEANWHILE...etc.!), but I regret to say I don't know that I've heard them yet since their 2017 debut. Sad face. Two, the umlaut and aforementioned resume lets me know I'll probably be into this. So let's see. Okay, I absolutely love the raspy vocals that gasp out to the very last breath. This is quite heavy metal-charged Scandi Dis-beat hardcore. There is a unique level of vibration to the classic riffs. That is to say, the traditional Swedish hardcore chords are almost sung from the guitars. Outstanding. Like literally, the guitars are a standout, fucking awesome. This must be Kenko, who I met at a wedding in NY once, and his unassuming kind poise brings total fire through his instrument. Simultaneously catchy and abrasive, this is certainly recommended. Some parts double-time D-beat kang (a la MOB 47), other moments knuckle-dragging stomping breaks, but never for too long. I was just listening to INSTITUTION yesterday and I believe they share the vocalist. Or perhaps the TOTALITAR vocalist, actually. I could check but let's leave it at that, the old-fashioned way. Just like EXPLOATOR plays hardcore punk. I am not sure who's doing what here, but I am sure I love this.
