Without Empathy Lesser Beings cassette

Listen, all I gotta say is this: if you’re gonna go ahead and kick your record off with a WOODY GUTHRIE sample, then you best be jumping directly into a cover song immediately following it, especially if you’re a band from Oklahoma! I’d even give you a pass and let you bust out a harmonica solo!!! Anyway, this is pretty much your standard grind/powerviolence affair—the exact type of grind/powerviolence band you picture whenever anyone mentions that genre pairing. Decent enough. Drums sound great.

Without Empathy Without Empathy cassette

Oh hello, grindcore. Thanks to the Heartland for breeding the discontent that created this ten-song cassette, because the grind is so filthy, I think most coastal elites won’t be able to handle it. I can, of course (barely). Duh. Because these are my roots, and I understand, but still… damn. Armed with a colossal low end, samples, and a ton of hatred, bassless Oklahoma duo WITHOUT EMPATHY waste no time getting straight to the brutality. The chugs alone should be enough to sell any purist (and/or punish any poser), but hold onto yer pantaloons when WITHOUT EMPATHY open up, because this one is an absolute motherfukkr.
