It's time to go stupid again. Seriously though, it's pretty stupid how this album was being sold for only 2 dollars. Oh well, bad for them, but good for me! Battletorn are from the hipster stronghold of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, but thankfully, they don't sound like it. Delivered here is some mean, low-IQ Crusty Hardcore. Like Iron Lung, they're also a power-duo, so they have a concise and lean sound perfect for cutting your head in half. Musically, they sound pretty similar to late 80's/early 90's Crust like Antischism, if that band had Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer) on vocals. Expect huge amounts of D-Beat, and never-ending distortion complimented by a clear, yet piercing production. Sure, prog music is great how it's challenging and stimulates your intellect, but sometimes, you just wanna tweak on some simple brutality.
