EXTENSIVE SLAUGHTER - A FATED DEMISE

Crasher crust trio EXTENSIVE SLAUGHTER from Vancouver certainly live up to their name on this latest release. Pummeling drums, chainsaw riffs and guttural vocals wash over 5 tracks clocking in just over 9 minutes, truly the perfect length to leave your ears ringing for more. There isn't a moment to catch your breath on any of these tracks, just the way it should be! The final track "Extensive Slaughter" features additional vocals à la legends like DISRUPT and NAUSEA, a trend I hope they pursue on further releases. I'm not a guitar person at all, but the select solos add that extra bit of flair that rips through the tracks, adding another crunchy layer to this d-beat delight.

I was fortunate enough to catch EXTENSIVE SLAUGHTER in Montreal recently, watching the drummer grin ear to ear while laying waste to the kit has be one of my top show highlights of 2024. Go see this band if you get the chance!

And if you can't see them, grab a copy of the cassette put out by the legendary Sore Mind label. Wonderfully designed, with a print of the album art on the cassette, lyrics on the j-card (love to see it!), a photo of the band and a call to arms that reads:

"to support indigenous peoples worldwide in their fight for freedom, the rest of humanity must recognize their complicity in oppression and fight against genocidal, colonial states and their repression of the rightful stewards of the land, from coast Salish territories to Palestine, we need nothing less than the total destruction of colonial rules to call this world free"
