Daudyflin: Dauiflin 7″

Description

6 tracks of incendiary Icelandic hardcore punk custom built to destroy even the sturdiest of preconceived notions. Have no doubts, these fierce women (and Fannar) of Reykjavk are laying down an unholy path to the icy acid bath that waits for us all. Hell has frozen over. Burn yourself all the way down with this one. Pogo to the prophecy beat.

Our take: Ive been a fan of Icelands Daudyflin for a little while now, and this new EP continues to refine their manic, almost psychedelic hardcore. Its funny, listening to this new EP I cant get out of my head how much it sounds like Cheetah Chrome Motherfuckers classic Furious Party EPit has a really similar chorus-drenched sound and the singer is nearly as unhinged-sounding as the wild man who sang for CCMbut after going back and listening to Daudyflins previous records this doesnt sound that much different. However, everything does seem to be pushed just a little bit harder here its a little faster, the production is a little more in-the-red, and the whole thing just sounds a little bit rawer and wilder. Its not every day that a record is able to capture that level of wild intensity, so if thats the type of soundtrack you like to put on when youre smashing everything in your house, taking too much bad acid and wandering around a post-apocalyptic urban hellscape, or standing in the middle of a demolition derby then I cant think of a better way to spend $7.50 than making this record a permanent part of your life.
