Blink and you’ll miss this one!
More fool us for thinking EPs couldn’t possibly be any shorter than Clobber’s seven-minute ‘God Loves, Man Kills’ when it dropped last summer – because here are Leeds hardcore crew Mass Hallucination with three tracks in under four minutes. Well, as a short, sharp shock to the senses, these guys certainly deliver.
Opening track ‘Lacerated’ rides in on a wave of distorted feedback and belts along with hardcore punk fury and some seriously two-step worthy crunchy guitar work. ‘Human Figures’ keeps the relentless pace going, before ‘Dragging A Rope’ brings things to a suitably brutal close.
It’s all served up with a production job as raw as sushi and filthy as a chimney sweep’s brush, and we’re very much on board with it. Keep up the good work, folks!

I spend my days teaching English to foreign students, and my evenings attending as many gigs as possible. Raised mainly on a diet of 90s third-wave punk, my tastes have grown to include just about anything from trad ska to thrash metal. The Ramones are my musical gods.
