22 years, several EPs and splits, three full-lengths and countless tours around the globe, Hellshock are still standing relevant and still playing some of the heaviest riffs in the worldwide punk scene. Where most bands of the crust genre seem to lose the fire and filth or simply break up before their prime, this band seems to get more powerful with each release and this long-awaited LP is no exception. This recording features the addition of Robbie Chronic from Ripper on guitar who adds some real sick fucking solos on top of the established rolling crust riffage that the original core group had perfected years ago. Neck-aching tempos, sheer brutality, growled anguished vocals, and epic song writing without straying from pure unadulterated crust. For the seasoned Hellshock fan, you know you will already love this album and it will only exceed expectations. For the newcomer, if they were to ask "what is this crust/stenchcore thing about?", you could point them to Amebix, Deviated Instinct, Axegrinder, and Hellshock. The name deserves to be right beside the creators and masters. In another 20+ years this record will be regarded as one of the best crust records of the 2020s, just as Only the Dead Know the End Of War as a defining record of the early 2000s. Gatefold vinyl.
