If the band’s name, plus the EP’s cover art, depicting death, destruction and crucifixion isn’t clue enough, the intro track’s straining feedback and sounds of apocalypse provide fair warning that ‘Nineteen Sixteen’ is going to be a pretty ugly, violent piece.
‘King and Country’ slams together the punk sound of The Dead Kennedys with the thrust of Gallows and a grimy metallic crust edge. These are the elements that essentially define their sound, and it hits pretty hard.
There’s a swaggering groove to ‘Line Me Up for the Firing Squad’, and ‘200 Volts’ distils nihilism and searing rage into a potent cocktail.
