��Another recent entry in the extreme noise-punk canon from the aptly named Distort Reality label, the No Nukes EP from Japanese static-blasters Attack SS might not be quite as insane and blown-out as that label's offerings from dual-bass noisefiends Zyanose (who remain one of my all-time favorites within the current noise-punk scene), but these mutants still deliver some savagely static-soaked hardcore punk on this record, a punishing assault of screeching high-gain hardcore in the deformed vein of bands like Disclose and Confuse. Attack SS zip right along at breakneck speed across these four tracks; I was amused to see one of their guitar players being attributed to "fuzz" and the other to "noize" within the liner notes, and that twin-axe skree attack that the guitar players produce thoroughly coats the rampaging hardcore punk in a nice layer of ear-scraping distorted noise, which they'll occasionally dial down a bit in order to batter you with one of their anthemic sing-along choruses. While Attack SS's distorto-thrash isn't quite the Merzbow-meets-Discharge level of sonic violence that a lot of the other bands of this ilk have been offering up, these songs are still plenty catchy and ugly and most definitely noisy, with lots of totally fucked-up melodic guitar leads, and a back-to-back blast on the b-side ("Ideal Future By Our Hands" and "P.O.L.I.B.A.S") that really delivers on the crashing hardcore insanity; my head was smashing into the wall in no time. Nope, I still just can't get enough of this stuff. Highly recommended if yer a fan of Confuse-influenced noise-punk outfits like Zyanose, D-Clone, Death Dust Extractor, Framtid and Merciless Game...
