Description

Angers Curse show their origins with a spear thrusting Viking on horseback on their album cover. They literally race through their 12 tracks in just under 20 minutes. It starts with a siren and then carnage ensues with straight up, blink and you’ll miss them slabs of anger driven hardcore punk. Their singer also hits the higher squawking end of the rage but it suits the music adding a solid urgency about things. You can imagine a seething mass of stage divers lining the stage and the band jumping around kung-fu kicking the air to songs like ‘Dead City.’ There is an air of NYHC about this and with gang shouts backing up the punch heavy songs which rattle around with anthemic chorus shouting “this is my war” with grit and determination. This should certainly go down with fans of SOIA, and early Pro-Pain and Biohazard. This is hard and forged with conviction, the melodies bounce you all over the place and the call to arms is pretty damn irresistible. Even though this is short it’s the longest time I have spent with any of these bands , 24 tracks with double the running time and they would have a full length album.
