Fluoride - s/t - Download (2017)

Labels: self released
Review by: Alex Deller

Very, very fast hardcore with no bass guitar and Jon Chang-style (i.e. shriek-til-yer-head-falls-off) vocals. There are plenty of dynamic flourishes despite the blistering pace, and bands that spring to mind by way of comparison are Lycanthropy, Drop Dead and early Cloud Rat … pretty good company to be keeping, as far as I’m concerned. By the looks of things this is their first release, which is dead impressive considering how sharp, savage and together it all is. Kudos, too, for using the same font as Finger Print and Su19b rather than the off-the-shelf Infest number that everyone seems to go for these days.
