Snarling Hate

WOW!!

These guys are not fucking around! Snarling Hate is exactly what you can expect from its name, a straight to the face shotgun shot of hate, anger and negativity!

Out on Youth Attack records which is specialized in super pissed music (no surprise when you know that the label was created and is run by Mark McCoy, ex-vocalist of the legendary powerviolence act Charles Bronson), How To Kill was born of the meeting of two old legends of the I-am-super-angry scene...

On one side we have James Trejo a long-time friend of Youth Attack as several of his past bands were released there: Culture Shock, Cadaver Dog and now Life Support are a few examples of  James' interest in every aspect of the violent and the loud. Almost every aspect indeed as James is actually playing and recording all instruments on most of his records while a professional screamer is invited to add the hateful touch. Yes and that is exactly what is happening in Snarling Hate.

On the other side we have Shaun Dean who has been screaming and shouting in hardcore bands all over the US for the past two decades at least...

Repercussions, Bad Faith, Men's Interest, Cold Sweat... yes Shaun has not been lazy and seems to be as angry as the first day!

Oh yes sorry and also Matt Wilga decided to join these two cheerful lads with his guitar! Not a newbie at all as well, Matt has played in a bunch of bands featured on Youth Attack like Failures, Suburbanite and The Cancer Kids but also in Angel Flares, a quite surprising rock'n roll / folk solo project which did not make it to Youth Attack.

So as I am not a big fan of all the bands quoted above (most of them are a bit too much on the heavy/brutal side for me), Snarling Hate manages to find the right angle between speed, violence, brutality and hateful vocals... It's super pissed but it is still punk, it is still hardcore and there is even some more melodic parts which are not without reminding Kill Your Idols as we were talking of New York (Youth Attack is based in NYC).

Unfortunately this EP features only two songs, which is really frustrating as I would love to hear more!

Highly recommended anyway!

N,J'Oi!
