Ooooooooh YEAUHHHH: If Unsane were heavy, Dirtdrinker are heavy+2, like Get Fucked used to be or Drunkdriver are, bass-drum and tom bombardments a constant source of adrenaline. They’ve got a sound and they stick to it over three hardcore joints, never offering a break or even a passage wherein the guitars aren’t drubbing the ears (save a quick build-up break on Side B; this one hits hard too). As with a lot of metal-related acts, it’s not about the skills, which are obviously there and exist in thousands of like-minded bands, but the manner of delivery. Do Dirtdrinker really chug soil or are they just out there fakin’ it? To me they seem pretty intense and intent, a lot more interesting than a lot of bands that have attracted more attention in the past (Knut, etc.). This self-titled 7-inch was limited to 100 and is long sold out; yeeeeaaaah.
