Description
Holy shit!! Ignorance is a complete hardcore energy explosion influenced by bands like Confuse, Kriegshg, Lebenden Toten and Gauze. Like the aforementioned groups, they have a heft and a complexity that urges you to stretch your modes beyond simple volume control. You must feel every twitch and contraction in your body while you envelop yourself in a sound that pushes the needle right into the red and plants it like a conquerors flag, claiming your zone as their own. You can rest easy, you live in Helsinki now and its beautiful.
Our take: Iron Lung Records brings us the debut 7-song 7 from this band from Helsinki, Finland. While Ignorance is from Finland, they sound like they were tailor-made for Iron Lung Records, playing just the kind of heavy, intense, and arty hardcore that is the labels calling card. Iron Lungs description mentions a bunch of Japanese bands in their description, and while I hear that in places, Ignorance doesnt sound too Japanese to me theyre not as stylized as bands who root their style in a very particular sound or scene, with a more diffuse approach that might sound like dirty pogo one minute and dark and desperate hardcore the next. Where I do hear those Japanese influences coming through are in the creepy guitar overdubs on tracks like Evil Eyes and Internet Head, which have some of the dark sound I associate with Mobs or Zouo.
