Browsing ‘Distro Releases’
For fans of The Swarm, Enemy Soil, Backstabbers Inc, and police badges with black ribbons around them. Lots of songs in not a lot of time. Play this loud and watch your roommates/parents come into your room and ask “are you throwing things in here? wanna talk about it?”
“Southern California hardcore act, Children of God, on their first EP, Coup De Grace, have captured the raw, messy, and unclean sound of pure, unrequited rage in sonic format. Right from the dual feedback of opening track ‘Sheep, Meet Blade’, there’s a disturbingly inviting atmosphere that encourages the listener to keep out ears in tuned for what is about to come. An open door to a very angry band that, while even sounding childish with its above and beyond breakdowns and almost out-of-tuned blast beats, makes you can’t help but relate to all the times when the only thing you can do it just scream of hatred. ’31 Seconds of Blind Rage’ is just that, a near half minute of messy sounding drums, an absolutely frantic frontman, and a bleeding guitar that radiates all the emotion of blind rage. Coup De Grace‘s ending climax on final track ‘While You Sleep At Night…’ sends shivers down your back with its sliding bass track, crushing feedback-heavy guitar breakdown that leaves you more disturbed at the end than you at the very beginning of the EP. It only makes you want to listen to it again, as the whole EP is only five minutes and twenty eight seconds. Yet after you’ve given it time to sink in, after you’ve listened to this repeatedly, there’s no denying that Coup De Grace is five minutes and twenty eight seconds of blind rage.”
