The horror… the horror… Is the singer wearing a gas mask? Winded vocals carry you through a field of land mines as the rock-n-roll undertone fuels your fire and thumping bass ignites the bombs as you bolt into a trench hoping your not a baked corpse after the explosion. 6 merciless tracks of contagious, cutthroat crust punk. As you read along with the lyric sheet, NAPALM RAID paints a smokey picture, sets the distressed mood and doubtlessly hand over what they’re trying to dispatch. Lyrically very grim, slightly vague and mostly about war, this 7″ is definitely not one to listen to if your trying to feel positive about humanity. Even by simply reading their logo encrusted with barbed wire I can envision the ugliness of war. One of the bits of art on the insert states: “Disgusting human race take pride in their war games. ” This 7″ has your expected high contrast white on black crusty layout, which I find visually pleasing. The music faultlessly matches with the lyrics and art. After a few line-up changes, this fairly new 3 piece formed in 2008. carrying on sounds in the traditional vein not unlike DISCHARGE and even more so DOOM…so much its uncanny. even up to the vocal styles. with obvious nods to the classics NAPALM RAID executes their own take on the formula to keep it fresh and exciting. Don’t you just love the smell of napalm in the morning?”
if this 7″ isn’t enough there are already plans in the making for their second 7″ coming out in time for their summer tours. stay tuned!
