Anniverscary
With a super confident, skilled hardcore punk attack that melds the surging intensity of
everyone from Verbal Abuse to Paint It Black, Anniversary are ambassadors of the tough
widespread underground music sizzling and exploding in far-flung Indonesia. Tunes like “Carnage” are blistering and fiery, defining this world as one “born in a feud, chaos, and decay” extreme environments that give rise to pain and hunger, rebellion and carnage. Their fast andfurious response is to holler loud as he'll and offer drums and guitar licks that wrestle with ferocious speed and power as their singer haunts us with his visions of dead infants, fatal and flawed promises of a holy land, the bullshit of racial purity, and rampant starvation as the wealthy hide behind ideas of security. Meanwhile, the equally potent and headstrong “Lamar,” sung in their native language, is just as pummeling and irresistible, including a robust and high energy hip-hop attack in the middle of the thrash onslaught.
