Blast Suntan- The Wheel of Fate is Turning 7” review
The first thing I can note about
this is that the vocals (80-90% of the time) sound very different than those on
the ‘Blot Out the Worthless Sun’ LP- however, intensity is still very much
present. The instrumentation is still
very on point- weird as hell, yet still having enough of a linear focus to be
able to bang’s one’s head to the tune of the music. The guitar work is the truly unique, NBST mix
of psychedelic, crust punk, hardcore, and thrashy riffs and licks, with bits of
sheer mindfuckery spliced in. All three
songs are independently punishing tracks, “Judgment” being the best among
them. However, it is very difficult to
explain NBST to someone who hasn’t heard them- rather than being a snobby
hipster and pretending I’m awesome for discovering this awesome band that
happens to be extremely unique, I instead implore anyone who likes extreme or
weird music to give this EP a listen- while the LP is a little more forward,
this is a step deeper into the psychedelic element that makes that band much
more diverse and interesting. This could
be (in my opinion) one of the most unique, strangely punishing bands to watch
out for. Highly recommended.
