Pretty fearsome outing here from these Liverpudlian manglers: a four-track 7″ of flailing, beshitted fury that melds noxious sludge gloop and malevolent grooves with blasts of demented grind. With that kind of mix it’s perhaps inevitable that Soilent Green will be the first band to spring to mind, though if you’re feeling more imaginative then you could maybe ponder the thought of Mike Williams having more clout with Brutal Truth than just that Germs cover. ‘Lord’, the EP’s longest track, is probably the standout effort thanks to a series of vast, chasmic plunges into the unknown but truth be told it’s a strong release all-round and peppered with enough variation to suggest a full-length would be rather a pleasant thing to endure.
