I haven't heard anything from old good
Sanitys Dawn for a long time. it 's been 5 years or so since their last recording, and guys have finally braced up and
recorded some fresh material. 6 brand new songs were packed into one vinyl and
the release was called "The Violent Type". The First
thing that came up to my mind when I've been listening
to this for 11 minutes is that the guys don't sound the way they used to in old days. For a moment I thought it's not even the Sanitys
Dawn, haha)) These Germans have made a rather good
experiment. The sound has lost some of its solidness and anger, but they added more punk drive and some rock'n'roll. Sanitys Dawn now
sound more joyful (with such a programm, circle pit in front of stage is
guaranteed!). I really enjoy these hardcore vocals a-la Infest/Spazz, it was a
good idea to mix them with other vocals. As it should be in punk
rock, the bass can
be heard pretty
clear here, which makes the sound much better. Also I should mention
"The Violent Type" is not only about cheerful
grindness, there
are some smooth rocking rhytms.
Let's take a closer look at the cover of this 7 inch. At first sight, it looks
very stylish, but take a look at the
picture. The artist's
interpritation of the saying "still
waters run deep" is remarkable, ahaha. Guys might look like harmless hippies but if you mess with them, they will kick your ass;))
