Recalcitrant - Demo 2015 (Bloody Scythe Records)

Recalcitrant is a very young band (not even 1 year old), but these guys are walking confidently on the coridors of underground, making some really cool stuff. And all because the guys are not so simple. Each of these musicians has a good background of playing in other teams, they have a lot of experience in destroying their fingers with strings/drumsticks and killing their throats with wild scream.
The cover art of casette won't tell you much, because it is very simple. Logo on a black background and that's it (I was keeping in mind some old demo tapes from 80-90s), but the casette itself is purple and it makes some nice contrast to the graphic.
The material here, although not much (about 7 minutes), but this shit can break the backbone of an elephant! All songs start kicking ass from very first seconds, causing the desire to destroy everything around. And despite the narrow focus of grindcore genre, guys were able to make their 5 songs very different (6th is a cover of the legendary punks Minor Threat). These tracks are packed with some killing blasts, cutting guitars, scream from hell and crunchy bass. All this shit is not boring at all, it will make you want to listen to it again and again ...
What can I say - I will look for some more fresh records from these amigos!
