Collapsed Skull - Your Father's Rage Evaporated in the Sun (2024) (English review)

 

 

Once the priority projects of the members of Philadelphia have allowed it, Collapsed Skull has gotten to work to release a first album after their initial EP "Eternity Maze", highly acclaimed by American underground critics in 2022.

 
And Full of Hell and Jarhead Fertilizer are two icons of the current American extreme. And, as it could not be otherwise, the result of mixing them in the same band with a similar direction translates into a raw and experimental grindcore, which mixes the innate viscerality of the style together with passages of hip-hop and excerpts from speeches from characters like Noam Chosky.

 



Something to highlight, although it might be expected, is the production and sound, which seems more taken from a live performance than from a studio recording. This ends up resulting in an organic, impeccable drum set loaded with all the destructive power possible, as well as a set that devastates everything possible when things get violent.

 
On the other hand, the hip-hop cuts and other ambiance put a finishing touch to a very complete album, not at all boring and that roughly stages what a new grindcore project represents that has everything to make a name for itself among the others. projects of its components.


 
As a curiosity, the group has also released a mixtape called "Truth Serum", which delves much deeper into the experimental side and is almost exclusively dedicated to the most underground hip-hop, consummating an open-mindedness of its members, something for example already evidenced with Full of Hell and its thousand and one collaborations.
