Propad Vsak Dan EP
There is a strong foundation of ’00s thrashy hardcore here (stuff like TEAR IT UP, or underrated favorites of mine BOILING OVER), with hearty servings of INFEST-style powerviolence to kick things up. My favorite element of this release is the band’s ability to insert and hold breakdowns and buildups. It’s not entirely novel; there is a lot of PV/grind out there that dips into sludge for the sake of variety, but here it is grafted onto the songs to build and release momentum in an awesome way that made me think about picking up my chair and throwing it out the window (in a good way). It’s not some slow songs, it’s moments that have groove and power and I fucking love that. This one got many repeat listens as I familiarized myself with the songs and looked forward to the really dynamic parts, and that’s about as good a response as this kind of record can produce.
