The Sledgehammer of the Emperor

Sketches on war by German painter Otto Dix
“This says it all.
“In the mainstream Baltimore media and all over social media, people were posting these pictures yesterday supposedly showing white people defending each other against Black protesters and thieves. The racists on the internet were going nuts calling people ‘animals.’
“Thanks to social media, however, we get the real story: these pictures are actually of white protesters fighting with a provocative white racist woman; and she was actually trying to take the Black man’s bag (not the other way around!)
“The media loves the story of a ‘race riot,’ when in fact you had a diverse crowd confronting a bunch of drunk racists.”

Yes.
Narcoleptics’ debut EP adds to the lineage of “blown-out” hardcore largely forged in Japan and noticeably fetishized by a certain cadre of American punks. Recent notables like Pig DNA and Gag are taking the template to more interesting places, and you can count Narcoleptics among their ranks. There’s a fine line with this type of hardcore that can often become indistinguishable amongst the onslaught, ‘specially if you’re listening to a lot of this stuff, because then having Japanese characters and crudely drawn punks on the cover art is probably enough to sell it. But this Narcoleptics EP survives the muck-filtering process, due in large part to the taut drumming, a steady onslaught of snare rolls cutting through the buzzing, feedback-drenched atmosphere. The drum fills on “Trench Knife” and “Final Breath” (above) and the high level of the drums in the mix drive this bullet train of a six-songer off the damn rails. The riffs here definitely appear stronger than those of your everyday band of bulletbelters, but it’s tough not to go straight through the wall when you’ve got this amount of power in the kit. Whatever the case, the two minutes of “Cell Degeneration” should be all the proof you need that this is nothing but top-tier. The whole recording sounds great, clean enough to let all the individual elements ring out and combine in cacophony. Closer “Cop Sympathizer” (!) fades out and back in so you remember to keep flippin’ this one over, comin’ in hot. What a ride. See for yourself at the Warthog Speak Bandcamp, then grab the 7” direct from the label - only 289 copies to go around. Nearly 10 releases in at this point and Warthog Speak is proving itself to be a fine purveyor of cutting-edge hardcore, so you’d do best to keep up with ‘em.
WHY WAS THIS NOT IN THE FINAL CUT.
Or even the Special Editions. This is GREAT.
