Four LPs in, Incendiary are not a band who deal in musical revolution.  Rather they are in the business of incremental refinement and the progressive sharpening of a trademark sound.  And with results like this, who can argue?

Venomous vocals spat rhythmically in unison with slabs of metallic guitar fury, while the rhythm section lends a swaggering suppleness to the onslaught.  Call backs to the rich heritage of 1990s’ (and 1990s influenced) metallic hardcore – from Endeavor to Trial, Indecision to Foundation – are honed in support of their singular vision.  As with all great metallic hardcore, the burly musical delivery is partnered with lyrical themes to engage, ranging from the repressive treatment of refugees to political polarisation to distorted notions of patriotism.  Prepare to be pulverised.

We also have Incendiary’s second and third albums, Cost of Living and Thousand Mile Stare respectively, in stock.  For the uninitiated, a great opportunity to introduce yourself to classic tracks such as Primitive Rage and The Product is You.
