After releasing a couple of tapes White Guilt tackle the LP format and go for broke with this 45 rpm full length that has a real take no prisoners approach. Hailing from up state NY White Guilt is ready to share their take on modern hardcore.
The album is mostly breakneck fast tunes with the occasional surprise breakdown or abrasive bridge, this helps keep things interesting. All though the faster tracks are good the better moments are when the band slows things down, its these songs and parts of songs that the band comes off super heavy and the dark atmosphere of the record comes alive. On the last track "Comatose" there is almost a Sabbath like vibe in the drum and guitar work, and its just one of those times where little kicks like that pay off.
The overall production hits hard with the wall of sound approach while the vocals this time around have a little extra reverb that I think they could of gone without. There is a fair amount of feedback and static the help create a larger presence. The packaging and aesthetics suit this release but its nothing mind blowing.
This would be the first LP on Video Disease records who has built momentum and earned a following. Looking forward to whats next for this label.
500 pressed. 100 on white.
