Ceaseless Desolation, Nicosc – LP

Debut album of this Polish blackened crustcore combo formed in 2009, brings 11 powerful tracks combining a wide range of influences – from Martyrdod and Skitsystem to Dystopia, from sludge to black metal and straight-forward downtuned d-beat/crust. Heavy and evil riffs, dirty (yet really great) sound, skillful musicianship and mad, possessed vocals spitting out depressive lyrics filled with contempt, self-disgust and disappointment with society and the world we live in (one of the songs is actually Charles Bukowski’s Misbegotten Paradise). Most definitely one of the best Polish releases of 2013. Only 300 pressed, all come with 4-page insert including lyrics (in Polish as well as English translations), art and photo.
