ACURSED:
Tunneln I Ljusets Slut: CD
This is some great d-beat
from Sweden. I don’t really listen to a lot of crust/d-beat because it usually
gets really boring after the initial
energy rush of the first song (I’m looking at you, Discharge’s Never Again), but this gets it right. Like Tragedy, these guys
know how to throw in just a little bit of a frantic or desperate-feeling
melodic edge to keep the 1,000 mile-per-hour drums and bloody murder screams
fresh. There’s actually some damn sweet dynamics with the guitar playing. Gasp,
there’s even some acoustic strumming on here! I also like how the bass has that
distorted but not inaudible tone that I love so. There are several spoken
interludes thrown in, but since there’s no lyric sheet and everything is in
Swedish anyway, I have no idea what they’re talking about. I’d like to assume
that some of the topics that are being covered in the interludes and songs
include filing tax returns, dealing with post office clerks, and running out of
toilet paper while on the can. This isn’t happy music by any means, but it
ranks near the top of my list of music to usher in the apocalypse with.
