MIAMI DEATH II


This is one of the most destructive things I heard in 2019. All of the rage and ramshackle fury of unhinged noise punk, but delivered with the power, the intensity and the sheer brutality of primitive power violence. The whole thing is eight minutes long, and one of those minutes is taken up by anxiety inducing sonic manipulations that provide uncomfortable respites between tracks. You've got bursts of raw DBeat, a devastating mosh stomp, completely off the rails blasts, everything on the brink of complete collapse and presented at absolute maximum capacity. These sounds are very very ugly. 


For what it's worth, it also looks incredible, and physical copies are still available despite a criminally scant pressing run...
