Finally, the follow-up to that killer debut 7" that this weirdo Swedish metallic punk outfit put out last year on Holy Terror, the label run by Integrity frontman Dwid (who also handled the sleeve design for this record). This latest slab of demonic metalpunk from Broken Cross delivers another four tracks of vicious, mind-bending blackened hardcore, still steeped in that strange mixture of catchy metallic riffage and fucked-up low-fi weirdness that made the band's Anti Human Life one of my favorite 7"s to surface on the Holy Terror imprint. It's just as catchy as the previous material, mixing warped G.I.S.M.-esque metallic punk and soaring heavy metal solos with those bizarre growling, slobbering vocals that are run through a cloud of delay and echo effects, the vocals a layered mess of weirdo monotone speak-sing and froglike croaks and other, more inhuman utterances, which combined with the crazy delay abuse that the band employs gives this stuff a decidedly psychedelic feel. All of these songs are catchy, anthemic blasts, "Temple Of Violation" and "Justice Squad" all ripping mid-tempo blasts of aggression, smeared in spacey effects and the effluvium of various malfunctioning loop pedals; there's also some of that bizarre quasi-industrial sound that the first EP had, via the slurred militant stomp of "Assassin's Anthem", which blends a strange almost industrial feel with a guitar lead that sounds like if was lifted right off of the score to Phantasm, a steady pounding clanking rhythm repeating endlessly beneath that eerie melody and sheets of grinding distorted noise. And the closer "Secret Destruction" sounds like mid-90's era Integrity slathered in an extra heavy dose of trippy effects and low-fi percussive stomp, and infested with a legion of demonic voices all raving and gnashing their teeth at the same time. I seriously can't get enough of this band.
