Weekend Nachos-Bleed 12" e.p.



Weekend Nachos have been playing power-violence and sludge inspired hardcore for quite some time now and with every release the band manages to out do themselves and make their sound bigger and badder, "Bleed" is no exception either.

"Bleed" is a 2 song 12" that shows the band leaving behind the 30 second grinders and the epic blazers from previous albums but instead focus on a slower doomy sound that sets a stark mood which suits this band well. Both tracks are well crafted and lean more towards the sludge influence more then anything but also have enough chord and tempo changes to keep you interested. This time around the Nachos seem even more crushing as the music drags while the hateful vocals bring forward the pain and negativity this band is famous for. The A-side is the title track(a new song) and the B-side is actually an older song rerecorded both of which are on the long side and drag perfectly into oblivion.

I will say though i do miss the shorter faster songs and hope the band hasn't completely abandoned that style. Either way this record is a bleak journey and a good look at what Weekend Nachos is capable of. "Bleed" was released by Relapse records and had 105 on clear(not for the public) 105 on white and 556 on black vinyl.
