A punishingly addictive death metal album that reestablishes Brujeria’s mixture of Fear Factory rhythms, Terrorizer riffing, and Spanish Satanic ramblings.
Brandtson have finally hit their stride on this EP. Gone are the easily-recognizable influences, plenty are the slippery hooks and swollen playfulnesses.
Essentially two B-sides, a remix, and “New Noise” from The Shape of Punk to Come, this EP wouldn’t’ve been that necessary had the band stayed together.
Yeah, they like their breakdowns and their Metal Zone pedals too much, but they copy the heavy-hitters with enough of their own conviction to make it work.
