Description
Recorded during the same sessions as their demo cassette, this new EP from Philadelphia’s Kinetic Orbital Strike delivers five more truncheon strikes of earsplitting hardcore punk. KOS sounds like a band who knows exactly who they are, mining the same Discharge influences as Anti-Cimex, Disaster, Disclose, Framtid, and beyond, but—like those bands—placing their own stamp on the tradition. An old new sound to match a new old war, and a fitting soundtrack to the impending apocalypse.
MRR review:
D-beat crust from Philly with Chris Ulsh from POWER TRIP on guitar. The EP is tough, with enough grit and vitriol to spread to the masses. All tracks are from the same recording sessions as KINETIC ORBITAL STRIKE’s first demo that came out in ’22. Each song on the EP is sizable with the usual comforts of the genre, and for me brings to mind DISFEAR’s Soul Scars era. I think the tad slowed-down track “True Disaster” takes the cake. Get it.
