Seattle misanthropes Nasti are back with their third full-length, and follow-up to 2021’s Life Is Nasti, and it would be fair to say that they have not mellowed one little bit.  They still don’t like you very much at all.

Nasti continue to forge a sound that, while not adverse to moments of primitive brutality, equally favours flourishes of unexpected invention.  Snarled, vitriolic vocals lock-in with a rhythm section that brims with an avowed menace throughout.  The guitars veer from burly aggression to reckless solos in an instant, while not being entirely averse to moments of sinister melodicism, most notably on bruising opener Not Me.  So, immerse yourself in the bile and relish all that the band has to offer from the mid-paced stomp of Saved, to crushing closer White Fences II, by way of the viscerally infectious Little Things.  Forward-thinking hardcore that literally wants to grind you into the ground, but, well, you know, with flair.
