Total Abuse: Excluded LP
Total Abuse has been a band since 2007. They have released three
LPs and two 7"s, and they are considered one of the creators of a rare
mixture of the old school hardcore punk sound with 80s industrial /
noise aesthetics. Many bands have tried to copy their sound and vibe
but no one has been able to emulate the pure hellish intensity of Total
Abuse.
"Excluded" is their 4th full length LP and was recorded in Austin,TX at
Ohm recording studio and produced by David Williams. After the pure
noise sludge mess of "Prison Sweat" the band decided to take their songs
to a different place by focusing on pure riffs. Each song batters the
listener down with raging buzz saw guitar riffs and unadulterated
heaviness. Total Abuse have always been huge fans of true guitar gods
like Nirvana and Slayer and here it is most apparent. These new Total
Abuse tracks are still filthy and as noise drenched as ever, but is an
album with a stealth and form unlike the three before it. "Excluded" is
an album about survival, an album about identity, an album (as always)
about obsession. "Excluded" is Total Abuse at their best! Black vinyl in black/white sleeve with insert and digital download coupon.
