Female fronted screamo that is rather fucking fantastic, it even makes the eternally grim and frosbitten BALLSTOTHEWALL want to mope all day and night.
Vestiges are a cute little two-piece playing around with what I really want to call creamo metal but I'm not going to because that would be even stupider than I normally am. They mix up crust, post-metal, screamo and a tiny little bit of black metal to make something that sounds a bit like you'd expect it to - i.e. pretty damn good.
If you ignore the stupid name and never ever ever look at the album cover ever you'll probably like this more. They play creamo sort of like Alpinist except a lot more post-rocky and a little more melodic and whatnot, actually reminds me sort of like The Fall of Efrafa at times too except more screamo and some bits remind me more of old school hardcore punk type shit but not really perhaps sorta. You know what I mean. Oh and they're also A BUNCH OF ANARCHISTS FUCK THE GOVERNMENT.
This is the best post that will ever appear on this blog, everybody else might as well just give up right now because really why would you listen to anything else? Hey man, we've got pizza and Fugazi you better come here and chill the fuck out because life is good, man. Eat pizza. Listen to Fugazi. Love life. Words to live by and I don't give a fuck if I'm rambling because god damn it man, Fugazi.
Oops looks like I just accidently sludged all over your face, ugh you might wanna wipe that stuff out of your eyes I hear it can cause blindness. And deafness. Fuck it, there's no hope for you now might as well just curl up in a ball and die already.
You guys are a bunch of posers, can't up the punx for the life of you. I haven't washed in fucking weeks, I'm developing layers and layers of crust, it is the most filthy, gnarly shit you have ever seen. Just got a bunch of patches too fuck yeah Discharge and Amebix all over my fucking shredded jean jacket gonna put spikes all over this shit, up the punxxxx. But for real Axegrinder were the raddest old school crust band around, forget Amebix this is where it's at.
but don't really forget amebix
LOOK AT THAT COVER IT'S FUCKING GRIM AS FUCK FUCKING FORESTS AND BLACK AND WHITE CONTRAST AND SHIT.
Pg.99 motherfuckers. No, not just Pg.99 but Majority fucking Rule too. God fucking damn it, what more do you want? City of Caterpillar too? Well tough luck. On this split Pg.99 showcase their softer, more sensitive but ultimately also really rather creepy side while Majority Rule bullshit about feminism or something. Get it.
Really chill, minimal techno. Fuzzy loops buzzing around analog drum sounds, cut up basslines and vocals clipped to a point where they become a blurr in the background. The pitchfork write-up actually describes it perfectly.
