ICD10: Faith In Institutions 12″ Yellow Vinyl

Description

Sorry State is proud to present the debut vinyl from Philadelphias ICD10. Featuring members of Philly heavyweights like Fuckin Lovers and Poison Ruin, ICD10 sounds like theyve soaked up 40 years of hardcore history and are sweating it out into a battered denim jacket covered in rusted studs and faded band logos. Swirling around ICD10s tornado of noise, I hear the anthemic anarcho-hardcore of Final Conflict and the Iconoclast, the total noise approach of 80s Kyushu punk, the off-kilter artiness of early 2010s New York, and Gudons marriage of heaviness and musicality. ICD10s vocals are bathed in noise and effects, but rather than the uniform delay effect most hardcore bands employ, there are a range of effects that sometimes cascade across the manic riffing and sometimes lock in with it, creating jagged looping effects that evoke a crumbling technological dystopia. Lyrically, ICD10 combines Crasss political astuteness with Poison Ideas nihilism; the world is fucked, the system is rigged, and the only momentary respite is in tasting the void. Faith in Institutions is an unrelentingly bleak record, but it channels its hopelessness into an original and compelling take on hardcore punk.

Faith in Institutions comes with a lyric insert, 11×17 poster, and download card. 150 copies on clear yellow vinyl are available exclusives from the band and Sorry State.
