Sepsis: The Divide 7″

Description

Sepsis! A charged 4-piece crust bombardment from Naarm, Australia. Following hot off the heels from their sold out demo, they offer up 4 tracks thats are inspired by early UK crust with a strong Swedish hc backbone. For fans of Absolut Country of Sweden/ Scandinavian Jawbreaker era Anti Cimex, Hellbastard and Sacrilege. Maximum Devastation! Limited to 300 hand number copies

Our take: Debut 4-songer from this band out Narm, Australia. The labels description says it all here metallic d-beat crust with influences from (early) Sacrilege, Hellbastard, and mid-period Cimex. While metal-infused d-beat like this can get too slick for my tastes, Sepsis keeps it raw and immediate with nasty production and plenty of straightforward, Discharge-style riffing to compliment the moments where they get a little more rock (like on the title track) or metal (No Pride). I cant put my finger on it, but something about this EP comes off as honest, unpretentious, and sturdy, like a good hardcore punk band just doing their thing. If youre allergic to flash and just want that hardcore punk shit, give Sepsis a try.
