���� Punk-fueled black metal, or black metal-influenced hardcore - however you want to describe it, this Floridian band fucking shreds on this limited-edition tape that came out on the mighty Primal Vomit a while back. It's a later pressing/reissue of the band's eponymous debut, and features an additional bonus track of thrashing blackened savagery; it's also apparently the only thing that these guys put out before disbanding. Black Lands included a couple of members of a similarly filthy Floridian outfit Tyrants Of Hell, but this stuff is much more "punk" than that band, these four songs of blown-out hardcore-tinged black metal delivered in a seriously frantic and noisy blast of aggression.

���� I can definitely hear a bit of Ildjarn's influence on this stuff, as well as whiffs of latter-day Darkthrone and the barbarous stomp of Bone Awl, but these guys mold that messy, maniacal sound into their own image, with droning, repetitious riffs, the drummer losing his mind as the songs shift violently from chaotic blastbeats to tornados of blackened thrash to sudden shifts into vicious mid-tempo punk riffage; every time these guys drop into one of their D-beat driven moments, you can't help but imagine that somewhere a savage street-riot is breaking out. The singer's shredded, reverb-blasted vocals are pretty disgusting too, a raspy, high-pitched snarl that helps give this stuff it's murderous tone; if the bone-snapping, low-fi punk/black metal aesthetic of this label has appealed to you before with their releases from bands like Ives, Vomikaust, OV, and Floridian Winter, you'll be pleased to find that this tape offers more of the same.
