While this Indonesian band has obvious punk and hardcore traits, the primitive nature of this short EP drifts towards a speed and black metal chaos too. The cover art is so striking too as it depicts a cult of skeletal figures mid-ritual. It looks like an 80s thrash or death demo, but the music contained is just as lethal.<\/p>\n

Ridden with a fuzzy bass from \u201cT\u201d and harsh, scratchy vocals courtesy of \u201cG\u201d, the five songs on offer whiz by at an alarming rate of knots. The opening title track is a raw, maniacal heap of trash built upon the cereal box drums of \u201cL\u201d. The theme is just demented scowling black punk core whereby the guitar of \u201cV\u201d just acts as a hissing mess of garbage can clattering. Imagine the rawest form of black metal born from a garage where corrugated walls are whacked with batons to the raucous unholy screams.<\/p>\n

\u2018Drunk Shit\u2019 could be considered melodious in comparison to the previous tracks, while \u2018Destroy\u2019 again promotes that lo-fi black metal-cum-punk crossover barbed mess. Finally, the rancid \u2018Ass Licker\u2019 rounds off this chaotic, frenzied EP which is a work of angst and anarchy.<\/p>\n
