WAFAQ - LIBERATION CORPSE

WAFAQ makes no illusions, this is brutal, blackened hard core punk inspired by past and ongoing acts of resistance around the world. This five track EP burns with a passion of those who rise from the ashes of devastation. four anonymous members of this Indonesian outfit hit all the marks with some timely breakdowns, delayed guttural vocals, chainsaw distortion and an unwavering political statement. Boiling to the top from the first track, aptly named "Maniesto!", WAFAQ declares their all out attack on fascists regimes, ongoing colonialism, and the undying passion of those resisting oppression no matter how dire the circumstance. "Funeral Field" creeps up with a sludgy, doom drenched break down almost encompassing the whole song, accompanied by blown out, echoing guttural screams, that are briefly interrupted by ripping tempo change, as the band shouts "WAIT FOR REVENGE".

Summed up perfectly by the band themselves:

"WAFAQ tells the story of the resistance of the people of Gaza against the Zionists and also tells the story of the internal conflicts of the community itself that claimed thousands of victims from fellow Palestinians themselves. This EP is dedicated to groups/individuals who are victims of prolonged conflict, deprivation of living space and oppression, and with the spirit of Intifada, WAFAQ invites us to continue to raise our voices and strengthen our ranks to be equally sensitive to what is happening now."

FFO: 偏執症者 (PARANOID), HORRID, FRIGORA
