Crack Under Pressure ‎– Uneasy Peace (Regurgitated Semen Records)

This review is my way to correct a mistake I’ve made since I’ve discovered this band only now. The Crack Under Pressure are pretty strong representatives of the German school of powerviolence. The work which is called Uneasy Peace was recorded back in 2014, but released only in 2016 (and it`s strange for me because this material is of very high quality). Design of this EP slightly reminded me of good old Neanderthal (with a Stone Age theme)... This skull of an ancient predator and stone arrowheads indicate that we will have a very rough and aggressive greeting. And yes, there is a very unfriendly welcome here... Gun In Your Hand gives listener a huge punch in the face, promising that it will get only worse. Aggression is the strongest side on this vinyl. The speed and fury can be heard in every single track of the record. It really feels that guys put all the rage and anger that they only got into this record (and I believe that this moment is a very important). The efficient work of the rhythm section is making a powerful basis, and it wouldn’t have sounded this cool without it (and yeah, this bass guitar sound is very tasty). Another distinctive feature of the German fast scene is that fact that bands are taking the old hardcore as a basis rather than this new-fangled rubbish and it makes their music so much more interesting (young bands sometimes have this old school spirit which is cool)
