Impalers - Demo 2010 - 7

Labels: Beach Impediment – No Way
Review by: MH

Five tracks of blistering d-beat metally hardcore in about 10 minutes on this 7inch from Austin. These guys are ex-Mammoth Grinder and Hatred Surge. The tracks were recorded in 2010 and it has been given a more recent vinyl release. Blistering pace for the most part, crunching guitars, hoarse, powerful vocals and rapid-firing guitar solos – the production is kind of murky. I won’t pretend to be an expert on this type of music and it’s too heavy for a massive wimp like myself. However, it sounds to me like these guys know that they are doing. I can hear a bit of Motörhead in ‘Wheel of Pain’ and Discharge are an obvious influence across the record. Probably quite good if you like this type of thing.
