HARDCORE/METAL. SHITSHIFTER, the German trio is no slouch when it comes
to aggressive tunes. "pyre" is kind of like a "best of" when it comes to
their own sound. Every cut of every extreme genre they incorporate is
done excellently. Their hardcore, grindcore, crust and death-metal
elements are an explosive caustic cocktail. Clocking in at just 25min.,
"pyre", the vinyl debut by SHITSHIFTER is nothing short of awesome.
Every one of the album's 9 tracks will pummel into you unrelentingly -
think of a train with no brakes. From grimy hardcore riffage that
seamlessly transitions into pure grind-metal madness - furious blast
beats with a deadly array of bestial power-violence-esque riffs, the
brutal, malevolent and bleak tone of "pyre" waste no time beating the
listener to a shitty pulp. The longer/slower tracks on "pyre" delve
deeper into the murky recesses of SHITSHIFTER's sound. On these
particular tracks the band craft sludgy, plodding, towering riffs that
atomize with each note. In addition to their volatility, noisy and
chaotic elements also plays an important role in these tracks. Those in
need of a outstanding, aggressive fix are going to get that through and
through. "pyre" makes curious what the future holds for SHITSHIFTER.
These guys got the chemistry and made something that will snap some
necks. The record is so simple to love and if you have ever been angry
at all, you will love the rage they offer. If you’re a fan of NAILS,
TRAP THEM or BEHEMOTH as well as TODAY IS THE DAY or UNSANE. Limited,
colored vinyl includes a digital download card. You need to check out
SHITSHIFTER right away. Spin "pyre" - spin this monster!!
