Album Description Details about band formations and ex-members of so-and-so are unimportant. What matters is that The Endless Blockade is a band from Toronto that plays Power-Violence. Taking the foundations of the genre's forebears (Crossed Out, No Comment, MITB, etc) and streamlining it for today's harsh realities, The Endless Blockade is furious Hardcore meets crawling Sludge. Primitive is the Blockade's second album and their most fully realized work thus far, with great care taken in tying the album together musically, visually and lyrically. Scott Hull's mix is both clear and raw while Glyn Smyth's artwork visually represents the doomsday cults, fanatics and radicals that provide the backdrop for the LP's deranged pace and surgically precise twists and turns. The Blockade's affinity for the diseased power-electronics and noise genres (think Slogun, Whitehouse) also plays a more significant role on Primitive. 20 Buck Spin. 2008. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsPowerviolence without the cringing L. Saulsbury | Portland, OR USA | 07/29/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "For the past 2 years I've been veering away from my formerly mainstream tastes and into the more exotic sounds of grindcore, doom, death, etc. One genre in the heavy-underground that I've always shied away from, however, is powerviolence. On paper it's always sounded great to me: wild tempo changes, blast beats, and the occasional bit of noise. what has always killed the experience for me is the constant presence of "dog vocals" (think Man is the Bastard if you're unsure of what I'm talking about here). For those who, like myself, might reconsider purchasing an album that's been labeled as powerviolence for this reason, fear not.
While dog vocals make a few appearances here, they're not of the cringe-inducing variety that I'm used to, but rather the perfect blend of wild battle cry and village idiot. Most everything else on this album reaches the same degree of perfection: Classic riffs, great stampeding blast beats, and some of the better slowed-down sections I've heard from a band that isn't explicitly doom. My only complaint here is the throwaway noise track and the extended noise outro (kudos for being the only noise section that has ever actually hurt my ears though)." |
