Leeds/London band Koma deliver their debut LP Internment Failure. 12 tracks of brutal, unrelenting, constantly contorting, and mutating hardcore -- perfectly encapsulating the desperation of living in the final generations of a failed state, watching the life of the planet ebb away. Frantically written and recorded across two cities within the band's first 12 months of existence, Koma casts a wide net of global influences but refuses to be indebted to any one singular band or scene. At times recalling the classic Finnish and Swedish hardcore of Mellakka and Crude SS mixed with the raw distorted brute power of Voĉo Protesta and Bastard; echoes of the unhinged mayhem of Ataque Frontal and Chain Reaction subside to moments of gothic tension like Tozibabe and Pyhäkoulu. Koma makes a bold and ambitious statement of intent, a wholly-realized vision and fully-formed sound of pummeling riffs and powerful vocals that will remind of Sacrilege's debut.
