Vermin Rites - Demo - Tape (2010)

Labels: self released
Review by: David Giles

Negative hardcore from Ohio. Most songs have a fast/slow dynamic but nowhere as dramatic as any of the powerviolence bands kicking about. More of a Void feel to this, although the vocals are a lot more yelpy than snotty. Still, it works. Obvious comparisons can be made to Vile Gash and even Logic Problem. I don’t know how much mileage there is to be got out of this though. While it sounds good it’s maybe been done to death, particularly recently. I guess whatever they do next will be the true test of this band’s worth. Keep an eye out for sure.
