A killer six song Ep from this oddball hardcore outfit from Buffalo that has some former members of the thrashcore band They Live, who I remember from the late 90's upstate NY hardcore scene.

The first thing that leaps out at you when listening to Corpse With Levity is the bass, the loud, in-four-face, heavily flanged sound of the bass that seems to drive these short, chaotic tunes forward with a weirdly spacey, post-punk chunkiness. The music is crazed, texturally rich hardcore, super fast and violent but still rooted in a classic HC form with some slower, more moody passages. It's sort of like No Comment and Crossed Out or Intense Degree when the band really hit top speed and careen wildly out of control, but they have these interesting bass solos and noisy interludes and a general vague progginess that lurks behind each of these succinct blasts of breakneck thrash, at some points evoking the dark brooding power of early Neurosis when they downshift. And standing out amid all of this is the final song "Black", which sounds like some strange sort of ethereal, doom-laden death rock instrumental. This is one of the more interesting hardcore Eps I've heard this year; we've got Gas Chamber's Lp in stock too, which will be reviewed and listed ASAP.
