Labels: Basement – Shogun
Review by: Alex Deller
Yeehah! A full-weight dose of blazing, crusty hardcore here that draws influences from Japanese and Scandi classics while the band themselves hail from Malaysia. Full-throated hollers (one batch provided by Disarm’s singer on the cover of ‘Locked Up’), burly, grime-encrusted riffs and scratchy, high-energy solos are all proudly on display, and the thing’s thrown together with so much joyously-pissed gusto that you can’t help but root for ’em as you flail wildly around the living room between flipping the record over. Absolute quality!
