Breathe Heavy - Demo 2010 - CD (2010)

Labels: self released
Review by: David Giles

Ripping and chuggy distorted hardcore in the vein of Extortion or even Godstomper. The first track “˜Ball and Chain’ is an absolute belter “” so heavy, so angry! “˜Satan’s Snatch’ struck me as a bit shitty in comparison to the rest of this “” I guess mostly because its mid-tempo and has a really bad, almost Muse-esque twiddly guitar part in the background. Next there’s a cover of Infest’s “˜Behind The Tongue’ though, which is fucking awesome and pulls it right back. Despite the disdain a lot of people have for “˜powerviolence’ (samey, derivative, overplayed etc.), there seems to still be bands getting this pretty right. Shame this demo isn’t more consistent.
