Pest Control Year of the Pest 12″
Yorkshire, UK thrashcore project that’s been active for at least a lustrum. A solid pinch of classic ’80s thrash metal in the vein of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, but also taking a much more aggressively raw and incisive approach with the blunt force of hardcore punk during breakdowns, impasses, and in its wall of sound. A resolutely swift, blunt, and great listen; four tracks with the sufficient amount of riffage and ambience-switching to keep you hearing. Greatly surprised by this UK project, eager to hear more from them. Recommended. Favorite track: “Time Bomb.”
