Laughing Corpse: Beyond Recognition 7″

Description

Sorry State presents Beyond Recognition, the debut 6-song 7 EP from Washington, DCs Laughing Corpse. Laughing Corpse emerges from the same DC hardcore scene that has brought us so many great bands over the past few years, with members serving / having served time in Brain Tourniquet, Kombat, Corvo, Daunting Nightmare, Genocide Pact, and many more. While Laughing Corpses blistering execution hints at the members experience, the sound here is darker and uglier than you might expect, mired in the reckless, Void-influenced end of 80s hardcore. You can expect dramatic rhythmic shifts, desperate vocals, and guitars that frequently careen off-script into wild, noisy leads. Laughing Corpse drummer Connor Donegan is a transplant from Sorry States home base of Raleigh, North Carolina, and his roots show through with several nods to our citys tradition of uniquely damaged hardcore, particularly the early eras of Corrosion of Conformity and Double Negative. You dont need the backstory to appreciate this, though just hit play at max volume and let Laughing Corpse level you.

Beyond Recognition was recorded and mixed in Washington, DC by Eric Zidar and mastered by Arthur Rizk.
