Sistema Obsoleto Esmagado Pela Engrenagem Capitalista EP
SISTEMA OBSOLETO is a D-beat band from Macedonia, whose lyrics are in Portuguese, and their sound is inspired by ANTI-CIMEX. On the five-track Esmagado Pela Engrenagem Capitalista EP, SISTEMA OBSOLETO blasts through with impossibly swift rhythm shifts while buzzsaw guitars and rage-filled vocals conspire to create a whirlwind of hardcore punk. “Alucinação Consensual” picks up at the midpoint of this 7″ and is an absolute specimen of D-beat with screaming guitars, pummeling drums, and chugging bass. The closer “Ideias Venenosas” is a bit more mid-paced with its slight Motör-swagger, but the vocals and harsh instrumentation drive it into an anguish-ridden, blackened opus that clocks in at over three minutes and is the longest song on the EP. The whole disc is only around eight minutes in length, so you’ll definitely be replaying it, and is available through Neon Taste Records.
