Prolific punishing London crustgrinders SEWER TRENCH
are back again, this time delivering a full length album of negativity,
blasting and ear-ripping distortion. The ironically titled 'Optimism'
is a masterclass in old school, direct, no-frills crusty grind, which
isn't to say the release is not varied, the backstory for this release
is about as muddled as the unparalleled 'Scum' but certainly sounds a
hell of a lot more cohesive than it.
The primary sound on
display here is a classic swedeath, crusty guitar tone underpinned by
cleanly produced but still very raw sounding drums, chainsaw bass and
varied but constantly tearing vocal performances. Though the album is
undeniably a grind one the main references that spring to mind are crust
punk ones, touches of Wolfbrigade vie with riffs you could find on a
Disclose record, just with brutal low growls pulled straight from death
metal.
Followers of crust and grind will find plenty to sink
their metaphorical teeth into here, with probably a 50/50 blend of
furious blasting to manic d-beat, the odd buzzing bass intro and the
occasional Motorhead-esque anthemic bridge balanced against a Wolfpack
stadium crust riff. There is even almost a black metal track (these guys
are clearly into their Darkthrone).
Just solid, ear decimating
grind from start to finish with enough variety in the chaos to keep the
brain engaged and the fists twitching! (Press Note)
*Damn, This is some blistering, raging, and brutal as fuck sounding hardcore, punk, crust, black metal from this London, UK based quintet. Optimism is the band's latest full-length LP, which was released via Wooaaargh! records on July 13th, 2018. Optimism is a definite must listen for fans of
Hellhammer, Skitsystem, Driller Killer, Gatecreeper, Iskra, and Full Of Hell. Highly recommended! Enjoy!
