Enzyme "Abuse Of Power" review

Five brain-melting tracks of hardcore fury from a crew of Aussie lifers. This looks and sounds amazing, with classic SVK-influenced collage art gracing the sleeve and a massive live-sounding recording that showcases the band to their best advantage. Their sound is drawn from both noize-punk and chaotic crust, with the bass leading the band and supported by hectic but never too-busy drumming, piss-raw buzzing guitars, and deep, intense vocals. The first four tracks fly by at high speed, while the record-closing "Hollow" slows down to a CHAOS UK-style stomping tempo with tons of killer tom work. Fuck, all you gotta do is look at who put this out and you know it's got to be quality. (AU) (Crust War/Hardcore Victim)
