Succumb - Punishment (PSRec / Hate Ape Prod)

Succumb is a band from Massachusetts (this is in the USA, if someone forgot) and it consists of people from Orchid, Vaccine, Bucket Full of Teeth, Ampere, Death Evocation, The Cancer Kids, No Faith, and many others... Unfortunately, I could not find more information about them, apparently it was a temporary project, but I would prefer to be wrong here. But I can say with full confidence that the boss of RSRec liked these American pizza eaters very much, since he published these 4 short tracks on one-side vinyl (which is not common)

... 4 short but very powerful tracks! All of them are imbued with painful social issues. For normal, unprepared listener of country music, listening to this band can cause inflammation in the ear, hahaha! This noisy hell can be described by many genre tags, but I think I will focus on "grindviolence". Out of this, knowing people should immediately understand that is a very aggressive and fast noise punch.

I think that there is no sense in detailed and boring disassembly of the musical part of the seven-inch. I would note that there is very good combination of different vocals... and of course changes of speed. Short fast piece followed by a slowdown, which gives time to recover, and then again a short and aggressive outbursts.

You think that this is it? Well, no! The cover art of Punishment is one of the best pieces on the social theme that I have ever seen. It is very detailed combination of all nasty things that a man does to himself. I highly recommend to get acquainted with this artistic and musical creation.
