It’s Monday and Monday’s suck, so let’s grind it out with a song premiere from Horsebastard.
Yeah, today is one of those short days. For the song premiere that is. I’ve got an eleven hour day ahead of me, personally. But today is one of those grind slices that cuts right to the bone, stops, turns the knife ninety-degrees starts sawing some more.
Horsebastard is a very, very fast band. Hailing from Liverpool, UK, the band courts madness with a wink and a buck. Their grindcore verges on fastcore. And their blasts are almost never ending.
Their latest split is with Ape Unit. A veritable zoopocalypse of the most maddening proportions. It’s a perilous dogpile of blasts, beatings and unchecked speed. Our premiere, “Observe, Absorb, Abstain” is a slab of hyper-blasting that sounds like a stampede. It’s like a sped-up Melt Banana mixed with Discordance Axis, Brutal Truth, and two tabs of acid. But it goes by quick. So observe and absorb it, but don’t abstain from giving it a few listens.
The Horsebastard/Ape Unit split 7” is available for preorder from EveryDayHate.
