Assault
USA- demo tape review
This demo is pure hardcore; no
metal, no punk, no screamo, no other influences to speak of. Given that, it’s very short and simple, and
the songs are different in terms of quality, but “Painful” is particularly good-
it sounds vaguely evil, but on a relatable level, as opposed to the illusions
and nightmares of some lyricists/vocalists.
Packaging is good, though this tape was recorded over something else (I
can’t figure out what it is this time) and given what I heard after waiting for
maybe five minutes, it’s better that way.
I can’t say I’m impressed, but I will say that it is, above all, simple,
as though it didn’t need to be excellent, which it of course doesn’t always
have to be. Sometimes, the most
enjoyable things in life are not complicated or require intellectual prowess to
appreciate. Sometimes, things are just cool, you like them, and it doesn’t
require any more explanation than that.
This demo is one such thing.
