Description
One sided, 2 track, raw Portland punk!!! Unrelenting Discharge influenced hardcore from members of Bomb Heaven, Deathcharge, Bog People and Despair.
Our take: Ripping two-song 7 from this Portland band. While you can hear the Discharge influence that you might expect given the locale, the artwork, and the record label, False Rituals high-energy style reminds me just as much of 80s US hardcore as the UK / Swedish / Japanese studs and leather set. The riffing is super fast and slightly metallic, and the mile-a-minute vocals are aggressive shouts rather than grunted or gurgled. False Ritual reminds me a bit of Direct Control, albeit noisier, looser, and with a more pronounced Discharge influence. This is a short record, but theres zero bullshit. I hope we get a more substantial release from these folks at some point.
