Traumatizer Nuclear War Machine EP

Since their self-titled debut from last year, I’ve been a big fan of TRAUMATIZER’s brutal brand of D-beat, and on their new EP Nuclear War Machine, they sound gnarlier than ever. Each of the five tracks here showcases their ability to seamlessly meld their influences into a streamlined sound that is entirely their own. Excellent riffs, excellent drumming, and excellent vocals, what more could you ask for? For fans of ANTI-CIMEX, SACRILEGE, and MOTÖRHEAD, this one’s a no-brainer.

Traumatizer Release Fear EP

Relentless, thrashy, incisive, and violent outbursts of fast-paced hardcore punk on the debut EP from this Dutch band. Pure raw hardcore punk and even a pinch of synth work here and there (like in the track “Traumatizer”). Sharp, riffy guitars that couple with tight bass lines and non-stop drumming make this a corrosive blend and solid record. Sonic violence is guaranteed, on behalf of Spain’s underground battle label Discos Enfermos, and their allies in Canada, Neon Taste. Give it a go, eager to hear more from TRAUMATIZER.
