Yet another Warvictims 7”. If they keep this up they’re gonna surpass Agathocles in 7” releases (and unlike said band Warvictims don’t release the same songs on ten different splits, not yet at least). However the similarities end there. This is no way near any kind of mincecore, as this is certainly hardcorepunk to the core.
The lads seem to have developed a little bit since last I heard them. Not that they’ve gone all fancy pansy, but this sounds more true to the roots of the genre. It lingers more towards Discharge than Warcollapse (that I’ve compared them to on several occasions in the past). It might just be that the vocals aren’t as growled as before, and sounds a bit more like a dark, harsh scream. And the gnarly backup vocals aren’t as in your face either. So there’s at least some change, or development if you’d like.
But I’m certainly not complaining, so don’t take it the wrong way. Warvictims can’t seem to go wrong, they just keep on delivering pounding old school crustcore filled to the rim with shout along-friendly choruses. Sure, they’re not re-inventing the wheel or taking the genre to new heights and extremes. But they know how to perform simple, killer d-beat tunes. The riffing is repetitive (in the same song, that is) and the lyrics are just tiny bits about war, but the end-result will still have you shouting ‘how many more must die’ at the top of your lungs. Effective and to the point.
