Psych-War Psychotic Warmonger LP
Yoooo, this record fucking smokes! Scandinavian-style crust coming straight from the city of brotherly punk. An absolute Philadelphia skull-basher! Muscular riffs accompanied by searing guitar solos and pummeling drums. The menacing vox pull everything together with gravelly precision. I hear some elements of CRUDE SS, WOLFPACK, and ACURSED, beyond the more obvious influences. Unabashedly rockin’, there’s a nice Motörcharge on tracks like “Screams at the Sky” and “Criminal Mission.” Throughout the eleven cuts, the shredding solos burn with a heat that risks melting the wax right off yer turntable. Undeniably sick artwork completes the package, placing it easily among the top releases of 2025. Never mind the brain cell battle, this is brain cell warfare!
