Deseos Primitivos: Lineas de Muerte 12″

Description

Oakland, Californias Deseos Primitivos return with the Lineas de Muerte 12″, their first new material since their self-titled full-length in 2020. While Lineas de Muerte offers a crisper, leaner sound than Deseos Primitivos earlier releases, the band hasnt changed much, continuing to meld hardcore punks energy and power with the memorable hooks of classic 70s punk. The first two tracks, Cadenas and No Soy Yo, are 90-second rippers that wallop you right out of the gate with furious, driving drums, jagged riffs, and mile-a-minute vocals. Beginning with the third track, though, Lineas de Muerte spreads out a little, making room for more delicate touches like the bubbly bass line in Animal Nocturno, the brooding guitar intro to No Nacimos, and the title tracks big vocal hook. You can compare Deseos Primitivos to any number of bands across punks history who combined melody with intensitythe Avengers, the Adolescents, Vulpess, and Toibabe, to name a fewbut thankfully they dont get bogged down in context, instead tapping into the timeless ecstasy of a room full of sweaty punks singing along with fists in the air.
