Yellowcake Apparitions of War cassette

This tape is an unrelenting scorcher. Production value? Vertibly none to speak of. Distilled to the rawest form, YELLOWCAKE follows up their monster 2024 EP with another batch of devastating blasts. Nothing here not to like, just utter intensity via psychotic dual guitar leads and anguished shouting into the void of despair. You can draw a line directly back to 1980-era DISCHARGE, particularly in the double-tracked vocal delivery and primitive bass lines. It’s compelling to hear songs that are influenced by DISCHARGE in a way not solely relegated to the drum beat.
