When I first read that D-Takt & Råpunk would release this 7” I was very surprised. Some of Dissober’s old material is really killer, like for instance their contribution to the Distortion to hell compilation, while I can’t say I love their Sober life… No way album. And that’s also the last I heard of them, disappearing sometime in the nineties. But here they are again, although with an old recording from 1997. And it’s cool to see this release take place, as Dissober is a band that young punks probably haven’t heard of, so here it is for a new generation to get drunk to.
And drinking is a big part of their music (who could’ve guessed with a band name like that, eh). Although no lyrics are included, a couple of the track titles, and record title for that matter, reveals their not so sober ways. And right off the get go the dirty brutality sets in harder than a blowjob by a back alley crackwhore (well I wouldn’t know, but let’s just say this is some raw shit). The sound is dirty like a bunch of Disclose material, and it’s a complete hail to the old school sound. But while Discharge might be an obvious influence, I wouldn’t overlook Shitlickers.
This reeks of Scandinavian 80ies crustcore brutality. The riffing’s quite simple, the solos are raw and the drumming is certainly powerful pounding. The vocals are sort of soft, almight screaming. It’s not as harsh as the remaining recipe of Dissober, and this is some brutal and raw shit – as been stated earlier. If you love Disclose and Shitlickers I can almost guarantee you’ll love this as well.
