Villain "Trouble At Home" 7" Review

Villain "Trouble At Home" Shoe City Records

"We're Fucked." first words spoken against a dark ugly string of notes that slowly plod through their existence on the track. Then Villain bursts into spastic flurry of notes and defiant screams. only to return to the quagmire of repetitive pounding.
kinda sums up my life.
and apparently Phil's life too. The next song is another burst of chaos. heavy fast angry. Great fucking hardcore. Pretty much the formula here. and it rules. Scathing release of the dark thoughts in his head over fervent riffs and breakdowns. Such a great group of no frills hardcore. Heavy mosh for kids to tear down an art space to.
Love the old school vibe with European love of insane pummeling of crust infused core. Catch great song titles like "Noose Ends" and the euphemistic "Trouble At Home". Dead Nation, Voorhees, and such come to mind.
Check my Praise of their first release. I note the obvious of youth; well this ep finds Villain grown up. And fucking jaded. All the promise that was seen in the first lp was fulfilled. Thrash adoration while staying core and acrimonious lyrics make "Trouble at Home" a must!
FFO: old school, euro thrash - Damage Deposit, For The Worse, COA.
