Brooklyn power violence duo deliver an utterly blistering debut 12-inch EP.
All of the hallmarks of great power violence are firmly in place – visceral vocals, jolting time changes, furious blast beat eruptions, and menacing, sludge-mired breakdowns. What sets Compassion apart is the quality of execution. There is quite literally not a moment wasted – every beat, every chord is deployed to maximum effect in minimum time. Brutally effective.
CONVR45 is Compassion’s Pacing Animal 12-inch. The Brooklyn twosome follow up their 2019 demo with an 8-song EP of blast beat laden hardcore that fits its title. Much as a pacing animal deliberates on its environment with pent up frustration, thia record is a single minded exercise in aggressive fixation. Fans of No Comment, Iron Lung, and other classics of the genre will find plenty to like here.
