RASH
DECISION - 'Headstrung' 12" review
Bloody
hell yes, this is pretty much exactly the kind of thing that I hope
will drop into my inbox to review. Fast, no messin' about, thrashy
hardcore with immense drumming that flicks between blasts, double
time, and lightspeed fills, that complement the awesome, tight guitar
and bass riffs perfectly, and multiple vocalists, all with very
different but equally pissed-off sounding tones. Every song on here
is brilliantly structured (that's what 9 years of experience will do
for you), from the 66 seconds of 'Dogsbody' (one of my personal
favourites, and featuring one of the best thrash-inspired riffs on
here) to the slower but no less furious 'Cunt of the Litter', and the
rather odd, somewhat amusing, yet still awesome 'Blinded by Leaves'.
If you like your hardcore how it should be played i.e. fast, heavy,
and abrasive, well-produced and with no nonsense, and that reminds
you of stuff that used to come out on DEAD AND GONE RECORDS (FIFTY ON
RED, BREAK IT UP, etc.), then this will please you a lot. This 12"
also comes with their last album 'Seaside Resort to Violence' on the
other side. Ace.
