Very cool. And very, very weird from the album cover to the names i.e. J.Christ Hooker aka The Hammer Of The God (and that’s the drummer). But hold up, cos although black metal has taken elements from punk into it’s style, these guys have taken it back i.e. a punk hardcore band that seem to have a black metal sound with screeching vox, blastbeats, albeit in a punk / hardcore groove. Not sure if they’re the first band to do this but it works a treat with songs like ‘Spermrainbow’, ‘Libido In Decay’ and ‘My Mongoloid Girlfriend’ - take a walk on the wild side!!!
