Until We Die

A Global Threat

 

Man, these guys really get into the part!

Pure no holds barred English styled/studded finger waving street-core / punk. A real sixteen car pile up in the finest FTW tradition!

Indeed, the threat is real, and if these guys have their way, "Until We Die" means a long and sobering wake up call for the inhabitants of this toilet we call home.

"Work or War," tells it like it is-pick your poison, you poor directionless waste of life!

"Fucking Racist Maggots," and "We're All Equal in the End" are blunt overstatements of the obvious-ignorance, lies-wake up white America!

The message is clear, but the playing, well that's another story!

An exercise in brutality might come close to describing the action here. and it's no wonder at all there's not a trace of instrumental endorsements-who's want to back them?

In fact the entire disc could be summed up as one intense rant. an obscenity filled tirade directed at all that's wrong with the world. so how much time do you have?

Looking over the names of the performers, we got, in no specific order, a carnival of cacophony featuring Unfrozen Caveman, Shirtless-imagine someone actually going by "Shirtless?"-Bong-Rattling, and Living Joke!

Oh, and in keeping with a tone of equality, let's not forget Ginormous Head doing the guitar stuff, which over the multiplicity of screaming can be downright difficult to place!

A Global Threat is not easy to listen to. At least in my formerly relaxed condition, but they got a Hell of a lot to say and they'll be damned if they don't get every last ounce of acid out of their system before they're through.

"Until We Die" is living life to the fullest-a daring (and draining) aim at letting loose full throttle as if all our tomorrow's begin spiraling downward from this moment on. If you like it fast and loose, scathe at the thought of varied changes in tempo, and give two shits to the wind over melody, this one's for you. if not, piss off cause you'll be scared silent before even the third track is finished!
