I know by
experience Scandinavia abounds in crazy twisted people, but Driller
Killer beat them all. Nobody will fuck your minds like these four lunatic
guys through "Cold Cheap and Disconnected", a record that
displays a great variety of styles in the 10 songs (fans of vinyls can
enjoy a bonus track, "Open the Gates", too), a blend
of crustcore, metal and punk (G.B.H., Exploited, Discharge and many
more) joined with a personal slant rendering their trademark recognizable
at once, and that is gonna allow the band to gain a great deal of new
adepts.
A journey into violent misery, hateful brutality, detoxication hangovers
and suicidal depression in fast as fuck structures, midtempos, disharmony
stuck with melody, subliminal messages and even a Runaways' cover (don't
worry, no concession to market).
If this band has been around for 9 years it's because they're 100% dig
the music they play, and if they've arrived at the 6th album, then what
better guarantee for the genuinity and quality of of Driller Killer's
music standards?
Fast, heavy, rough and contemporarily purveyors of great choruses, they're
partecipating to the X Mass Festival in December with Six Feet Under,
Impaled Nazarene, Immolation, Hate Eternal, Dying Fetus, Marduk, Kataklysm,
Macabre and Ragnarok, so it doesn't matter if you're a new or old fan
of the Swedish loonies, just don't have yourself found out unprepared
when you're in the show pits!
