Filthy, brutal, absolutely scummy Seattle-based powerviolence duo, influential veterans of this punk/grindcore niche. Like the best of them, they escape the narrow bounds of the genre and explore their own dark and noisy sound, see also Hatred Surge, Despise You, Endless Blockade, and a plethora of local bands that have played Wednesday Night Live and/or Big Chief’s show over the years (Plutocracy, Agents of Satan, et al).
DISC 1: 1-20—variety of tempos mixed around, ranging from blisteringly fast blastbeats, bonecrushing droned-out sludge, and dissonant mathy jams. Lyrics unintelligible, FCCs irrelevant.
BONUS DISC: 22 minutes of very intense, lugubrious industrial/dark ambient/noise/weirdness collage. These guys know what’s up. Highly recommended playing as a soundbed to some awesome spoken word records hidden in our library, locked groove records, or weird educational records you can pick up for a dollar at the thrift store.
