Four Malaysian bands in a seven inches wax- a very good
surprise. It has been a long time since Hapuskan I.S.A 7” that we can listen to a compilation of
Malaysian band in vinyl (if I’m not mistaken). Sarjan Hassan kicked started the
whole thing by their Death Does Not Means The End, which are fast pace punk
with a little echo vocal. Pogo punk and in your face music! Second song,
Pushers’ The Culture Shake, really remind me to the old Naked Butterfly with
mixing of Rage Against The Machine. Kinda good I must say especially the booming
and running bass-will set you to the dance floor! The Garrison next comes with
punk rock and melodic approach in their Rolling Thunder. Just my opinion – if the
vocalist spit out rage more energetic, their track will be better, but I like
their guitar’s layers there. Crimescene really shocked me with their hardcore
screaming track of Transgression. Start it slow and heavy with distorted bass (I
think) but later blast a fast hardcore with shouting vocal. Not sure either the
vocalist has a candy in his mouth or what, but maybe this is his style of
vocal, who knows. Comes with hand print gatefold cover and a zine (Shock and Awe! no 5), this is a
good release if you wanna check what is happening in local scene now.
A zine (Shock and Awe! No 5) and this 7” comes together and available from cactusdistro.storenvy.com/
