BADASS SONG TITLES: Boiled in Oil, Entangled in Razorwire, Radiation Incineration
Aftermath plays grinding crust with a heap of death metal influence injected into it. I'm a fan of all things crust, so this was a pleasant find, and I decided to review it. Aftermath would be at home on shows with crust bands, hardcore bands, or death metal bands, and their sound is such that the fans of all these genres could easily get into them.
Some of the blast parts remind me of Parlamentarisk Sodomi, which is a personal favorite of mine among the anarcho-grind scene. The performance, especially in the drum department, is tight, aggressive, and fierce. The vocals are deep, grunting growls with plenty of nutsack. Occasionally a high vocal is introduced as a call and response, and the high vocals are just as good.
"Entangled in Razorwire," the song itself, truly stands head and shoulders above the rest as the namesake track, and it's clear the band worked hard on the awesomeness on display here. "Time Warp" also has an incredible blast part that's very effective, and instantly gave me a shiver.
The record is free to download from their site on Bandcamp, but throw a few bucks their way. I'd recommend to the band to at least get a tape version of this out, since a lot of guys, like me, want physical copies whenever possible. I'd buy it in a snap.
