Review by: Kunal Nandi
From the shamefully overlooked Irish hardcore scene’s underbelly crawls Drainland. Mixing up Dystopia’s downtuned, bile-filled, variable-speed aggression with Swans-like dirge and a ferocious female vocal, Drainland create a dense, intense sort of suffocating noise-rock. They cover a Serpents song (ex-members feature), which is fine by me. You get slow, you get fast, you get heavy, you get noisy. Very promising indeed.
