(review) M:40-Arvsynd(Suicide Records)

012994

M:40 are from Sweden and they released new record with Suicide Records. This band plays their apocalyptic vision of hardcore punk with crust and d-beat thrown in the song structures and it is a powerhouse. This album contains 12 songs of fast and crushing hardcore punk crust with dual screamed and shouted vocals, fast drumming with some doom and sludge parts of the songs emphasizing the overall gloomy atmosphere. This is not your happy merry go round skatepunk of love, this is doomsday music for the endtimes which are getting closer. What is the best there are super melodic catchy riffs balancing underneath all the brutality and that makes this record even more precious. The lyrics are in Swedish, but as I read the explanations in the sheet list the record title means original sin and the lyrics are about fascism, egoism, pollution and all other beautiful things we leave to our kids and future generations. It is important that such bands have something to say. Great record.
