End Times Vision - A Career In High-Potency Capsules


There is basically nothing out there on the web about End Times Vision, other than their Instagram page and the fact that they are a noise rock/sludge metal band from Athens, GA. At times this debut full-length on Lead Mouth Records veers a little too close to stoner rock for my tastes (not a big fan), but it's sheer presence won me over. This band has a huge, noisy, sludge-punk sound, especially for a 3-piece, and what they honestly sound most like, to me, is Shallow North Dakota. So, I'm already a fan. Hope you enjoy too.

Chain Cult-Demo (2018)

Obsessió-MLP (2019)

Country: Greece/Spain
Genre: Hardcore, Punk, Crust, D-Beat
Label: La Vida Es Un Mus
Tracks: 8
Length: 9.25'

OBSESSIÓ’s debut is a blast of crude hardcore. Formed during the extremely dark times of August of 2018 and based between Athens and Barcelona the band first statement is an 8 track 12” at 45 rpm which knocks you down with the first chord. Kindly indebted to the living legacy of TOTALITÄR, CRUDITY and other Nordic Beat greats while keeping an unmistakably modern swagger. Breakneck pace and musical manufacture care of three Greeks who have set the stage for Angela’s no doubt bleak summary of the world, whose distinctively intimidating and minimal powerhouse voice crashes across OBSESSIÓ’s music. No songs over 2 minutes, no frills or tricks, no contemplative pondering on delicate matters, and most of all no fucking melody.

(Press Note) 

*Damn, this absolutely rips.  Obsessio drop eight tracks of raging, caustic, and brutal as fuck sounding hardcore, punk, crust, and d-beat on on their debut EP.  Obsessio's MLP was released via La Vida Es Un Mus records on September 1st, 2019.  Overall, Obsessio's debut EP makes for an awesome listen and definitely should not be missed.  Highly recommended!  Enjoy!
