King Of Pigs – After Victory Comes Defeat (Flying Cranium)
CD/DL
Out Now
Nottingham thrashers King Of Pigs return with one other dose of Boston model hardcore. Nathan Brown dons a bandana and stage dives off the couch.
A little bit of suggestions, some snare rolls after which we’re off on the King of Pigs rollercoaster. Waaaheeeey! The rhythm part clearly ate Motorhead’s Overkill for breakfast with all that gnarly 4 string distortion, barreling snare and occasional double kick assault. Whereas the whirlwind powerhouse of Jay and Emmet present the propulsion, Ben’s guitar riffs fly out at breakneck velocity to set the path. He’s the same model to Bazz from Ripcord and Heresy should you ask me. In the meantime singer Andy begins pretty sedate with an virtually bored tone earlier than constructing as much as the screams of somebody exorcising psychological torment. If you happen to like quick that is one for you. To coin an overused saying “Hardcore you already know the rating”. We’re speaking Siege, Ripcord, Heresy, SSD and many others. The “sluggish” bits (sluggish for King of Pigs, quicker than your common band) are very paying homage to these 80s hardcore bands too with a really chuggy sound, and all the time returning again to the quick riff afterwards.
The 11 songs are performed in beneath 20 minutes. It doesn’t take a genius to work out that a lot of the songs (all besides two) are beneath the two minute mark. I’m proud of that. It rips your face off. The band’s personal tackle issues is that they needed to concentrate on “high quality not amount”. I feel they’ve made the best transfer. I bear in mind information loaded with numerous quick tracks that have been just about unlistenable as a result of the standard was decrease than the sound of a wasp attempting to flee a biscuit tin.
King Of Pigs have a line in hilarious track titles like Satanic Housewife Demise Rattle however after they open with Struggle Hymns for the Underneath Fives you already know they aren’t completely immersed in nonsense. Talking of nonsense, the mixture of Holy Hand Grenade and one other known as Rabbit Set off made me marvel, is there a Monty Python Holy Grail theme? Holy Hand Grenade is presumably my favorite of the bunch, sandwiching an additional sluggish and further heavy break down between Larm or Drop Lifeless ranges of velocity.
Hearken to Holy Hand Grenade by King Of Pigs
This cheeky thrash assault is initially being launched by Flying Cranium Data on a 50 restricted run Digi-Pak CD. I feel this can be a little under-ambitious and if there may be any justice on this planet it would promote out shortly. The band are additionally in search of a label who’d wish to put it out on vinyl, maybe as a cut up LP given you could possibly nearly squeeze this onto one aspect of a report.
