MERC - Dehumanized
This is bass- and-drums modern powerviolence that stays on the rails while going way off them. When I first listened I was like, I probably would be put off by this band live. I'm not really into bands with just a bunch of angry dudes, but the art was cool, the lyrics were good, political, anti-cop, so I dug a little deeper. Before this project, a close friend of the band passed away, and it seems like this project is almost a grieving project. Men dealing with their emotions in a healthy way? (YES!!)
Then track 7 hits and it's a heavy post punk song? Ok, weird but I don't think they care what I think and that's even better. It's a good song, just like, I'm not generally a post punk fan, and track 8 is back to the pv.
Recipe in the lyrics is chef's kiss.
10/10 from me
