Review - Islam85

Islam 85
S/T

Well now, this is something. This band comes at you like a sumo wrestler, low and heavy, with moments of brutality that border on incoherence. At times, the music hangs on to its structure by the tiniest of threads, but - and this is important - it always hangs on. That's what puts Islam85 above so many other extreme bands - there's heavy music, and then there's music so heavy that it threatens to collapse under the weight of its own intensity. It's like watching someone throw a punch so hard that it actually rips their arm off. If this review is a bit disjointed, that's because my brain is still trying to process the violence it just experienced. Buy this EP.
