Proteststorm – Tidens Malande Tänder (Insane Society)

Here is something interesting for me and (I guess this will be interesting) for fans of old hardcore punk. This release is like some kind of flashback in 80th (in era of old aggressive and raw times of Mob 47, Discharge etc). Proteststorm rules only by 2 members: Kristofer Jankarls (Livet som Insats, Infanticide) and Anders Jakobson (Axis Of Despair, Nasum). I`m quite sure that these guys grew up on that kind of music and this is their tribute to these old times and bands.

Hard to understand meaning of this cover art, these builders and teeth. Translator prompted me that a name of this EP means something like a "Future Grinding Teeth"... Anyway we have here 10 pretty fast, evil songs. Songs with aggression, with a little bit raw sound... this record can easy turn up your mood. Songs are simple-structured, fast drum beat (But knowing Anders this is not the speed for him, hehehe :)) with good yelling vocals. Kris made a nice ugly guitar riffs, their sound are dirty and contains so much drive. Good old punk spirit just overloads this small vinyl... I guess many of you can miss this EP in the heap of new releases but I recommend you to find some time for "Tidens Malande Tänder" because this screaming stuff will stuck in your heart.
