STRESSSYSTEEM - de Vorige Oorlog
Netherlands metalpunk. Metalpunk in that the drummer is using a double-kick pedal for sure (even some metal blastbeats in the first track). Not so much metalpunk like SACRILEGE or LIFELESS DARK although the tape does close with a cover of "Lifeline", I find the rest of the tape draws from a broader metal influence (maybe later thrash) than just SACRILEGE. It's much more like metal played by punks (one of the best kinds of metal). I wish it was a bit crustier, a bit dirtier, a bit stenchier but that's just a matter of my personal taste. A great tape to check out if you wanna hear DIY punks doing metalpunk in the Netherlands.
