Neck Breather Set cassette
Powerviolence is a micro-genre that strives at extremes, be it in velocity, tempo shifts, drama, or self-awareness. It became somewhat oversaturated some years ago with the rise in popularity of some bands, then went back ”underground” (it was never mainstream, but it used to be very niche), and only the strongest survived. NECK BREATHER is one of those cases—some of the freshest-sounding modern powerviolence that I’ve heard in a while, not the silly comedic powerviolence but the apocalyptic, nihilist kind like IRON LUNG. The sonic violence only gets amped up by the genius mastering by maniac James Plotkin (go check out OLD LADY DRIVERS or KHANATE if you’re ready to die).
