Qualms Drowning in Obedience cassette
Pretty heavy hardcore from Portland, Maine’s QUALMS. Featuring members of the punkier MISERY WHIP, the band is self-described as “Maine Spiritual Violence,” which I presume is a reference to the powerviolence influence throughout. I like the chugging riffs and the breakdowns, but the vocals aren’t my thing, and by the lumbering final track “Seed,” Drowning in Obedience was a little lost on me.
