Gloomy hardcore by Orchid in the vein of the Prank or Clean Plate bands. OK music & well produced, but nowhere near the intensity of HHIG or Talk is Poison (- yet). Pig Destroyer are much more extreme, fast power violence with stop on a dime breaks & tempo changes, and a really crazy singer. Great B side. [7]

Düsterer Hardcore von Orchid, in der Tradition der Bands auf Prank oder Clean Plate. Gut gespielt und produziert, aber längst nicht so intensiv wie His Hero is Gone oder Talk is Poison. Pig Destroyer sind viel extremer, schneller Power Violence mit exakten Tempowechseln und Breaks, dazu ein Sänger, der sich die Lunge aus dem Leib schreit. Fein.

Tracks: Orchid - consumed / a written apology / pledge // Pig Destroyer - delusional supremacy / the alcatraz metaphors / treblinka / seven and thirteen / scouring the wreckage / torquemada / frailty in numbers / suicide through decay
