Linsay - Enfold - split - 7

Labels: Per Koro
Review by: Alex Deller

Linsay kick much arse with their patented German emo-metal (think Acme, Systral et al) and seem capable of flooring just about all comers with their furious riffsmithery. The first song alone is an all-out juggernaut, offering up pounding riffage, furious screamed vocals and some well-chosen samples that really help to build the tension. The seconds song starts out in a more meandering, spoken word style before cutting loose and smashing your face into the wall all over again. Enfold, on the other hand, are something like the bastard child of Botch and the Swing Kids, offering a touch of welcome variation after Linsay’s straightahead pummel. They kick and scream something chronic, all angry vocals and spastic riffs, jumping jerkily from pillar to post and ensuring you just can’t quite get a grip on what they’re gonna do next.
