Battletorn - Terminal Dawn

With nothing to hide behind, be it longwinded, cryptic lyrics, “majestic” album art or dense and overdone production, Battletorn come quickly, come prejudicially, and it’s all over before one’s able to really process what has transpired. It’s fucking hardcore and metal and all the emotive states the two genres encompass at once and it’s fast and angry and great when it’s rolled out wide open on the hi-fi or hilariously uncompressed into minuscule ear buds. Folks, it’s time to try to put belief behind the music, because there is no fucking way you could convince me that Omid and William don’t. This is not a put-on. This is not “taking the piss.” This is just straight-up shredding, motherfucker. Highly recommended.
