Old
Wounds- Death Projection 7” review
The opening riff on the first song
is enough to get this EP a review- it’s one of the hardest and most brutal
riffs I’ve heard this side of the 80s.
‘Dead Beat Blues’ hits hard all the way through, ending with the prophetic
line “Life is pain, death is release”.
‘Ritual’ is a unique song that blends just about every kind of extreme
music into one (save for harsh noise).
‘Bloodpact’ is much the same, and is notable for the fact that the
vocals are abrasive yet distinct, clear enough to discern the lyrics the singer
is uttering. The last song ‘Epilogue of
a Possession’ is the epitome of a long 90s hardcore song- melodic and
cacophonous at different times, and reaches epic proportions at times as
well. The lyrics of the band are largely
on another level- I do not understand some of them. They’re a mix of storytelling and a rhythmic
blend of philosophical musings from a strange, interesting fellow with a lot of
heart and even more charisma. This band
is one I admit that I do not fully grasp, but it’s pretty fucking good, much
more intelligent than most 90s-influenced hardcore and metalcore jocked
today. Through the sheer application of
hard work, this band DESERVES your attention.
Donkey kick your neighbor and dwell on the deeper elements of your life.
