Review: DEATH TOKEN - 4 Track Attack EP

Even without a clue as who these Danish punks are, DEATH TOKEN give you a good idea of what to expect based on face value alone. The sleeve cover depicts a 4-track recorder immersed in a haunted swamp. And sure enough; throw the disk on and what you have is a tastefully raw and punishing recording of enraged old school hardcore that wouldn't have been out of place on Pusmort Records back in the day. You can hear the greats (SEPTIC DEATH, DISCHARGE, early CORROSION OF CONFORMITY) contributing to their metallic sound. The echo thrown on the manic vocals sends them even further over the top into derangement. Seven monstrous blasts are sealed off within the confines of rotting and mutating swampland with an atmospheric acoustic outro. I wonder if these guys will get around to doing a slightly longer recording; I'd like to hear more of these moody interludes contrasting with aggro thrash.
