Raw angry hardcore punk. Pretty raw, pretty noisy. The vocals remind me of someone else, but I can't quite put my finger on it. But the vocalist isn't just "doing a voice" like so many bands, they are clearly pushing it and letting their voice go in all sorts of directions (in a way that isn't contrived). I like it, but it's short and I'd have to see this band live to really decide if I'm sold or not. Hopefully this is a prelude to a longer follow-up and/or some touring!</p><p><em>Released by Makeshift Swahili, listen here: </em><a href="https://masshallucination.bandcamp.com/album/mass-hallucination-ep"><em>https://masshallucination.bandcamp.com/album/mass-hallucination-ep</em></a></p><figure class="kg-card kg-bookmark-card"><a class="kg-bookmark-container" href="https://masshallucination.bandcamp.com/album/mass-hallucination-ep"><div class="kg-bookmark-content"><div class="kg-bookmark-title">Mass Hallucination EP, by Mass Hallucination</div><div class="kg-bookmark-description">3 track album</div><div class="kg-bookmark-metadata"><img class="kg-bookmark-icon" src="https://ghost.the-counterforce.org/content/images/icon/a3068304326_3.jpg" alt="" /><span class="kg-bookmark-author">Mass Hallucination</span><span class="kg-bookmark-publisher">Elmo</span></div></div><div class="kg-bookmark-thumbnail"><img src="https://ghost.the-counterforce.org/content/images/thumbnail/a3068304326_5.jpg" alt="" onerror="this.style.display = 'none'" /></div></a></figure>
