Battletorn - "Terminal Dawn" LP [2007] [MATW Records]




"Now this blasts, this is so damn raw, need to check I still have some skin left – screaming bloody messy road accident of a raging blasting rip crunching hardcore thrash band (and an album wrapped in a dreadfully bad hand drawn cover – so bad that it may well be perversely nostalgically good – nah,just very bad). Limited edition of 500 so it seems. Sixteen short sharp audio assaults and some beautifully raw D.I.Y violence, sixteen raw bleeding relentless tracks, all of them clocking in at around a minute each. They appear to be a two piece guitar and drums thrash-a-thon, they're from somewhereville UsofA (not big on details this bunch) they sound like they should have been playing classic hardcore thrash crossover crusty punk gigs in front of raging pits somewhere in 1983 sixth of the bill to CroMags and Larz Rocket. Hang on seems like they're from New York, met in the basement of a porn shop or something (I went surfing). They're raw, it blisters, a beautiful DIY mess that's bursting with attitude and early D.R.I meets Hellbastard aggression, I love it (you'll probably hate it), wooooooaggghhhhhhhhhhh, metal thrashing gooooooood" The Organ - issue #205
