Where they from?
Squamish, British Colombia. I know I’m like five years too late to this but what the fuck is up with Apple switching their headphone jacks? Im trying to listen to this album in the airport and I have to use my old busted pair of headphones because my computer takes a different input than my phone. ENOUGH ALREADY! PICK A FUCKING JACK AND STICK WITH IT, YOU ASSHOLES!
Why the hype?
First of all, this band has a song called ‘Shot… A Lot’ — who says artistry is dead? Secondly, this band rules, especially if you’re a fan of Sulfuric Cautery and other hypergoreblast bands of that ilk. Pingy snares, slithering guitar riffs and vocal vomit spasms are the name of the game here and although Hacked Apart don’t necessarily break any new ground, they do what they do rather well, even if I have to listen to it through half a broken earbud because Apple just needed to up their stock percentage .001 by inconveniencing the listening public. Im listening to goregrind goddammit, it already sounds like shit anyway!
Latest release?
Hacked Apart, self-released There’s a guitar riff at the 50-second mark of ‘Unenthusiastic Amputation’ that comes very close to channelling my abstruse anger and frustration towards this input situation. Yes, I am not letting this go, it’s just that fucking irritating. But the songs offered here on this magnum opus? Pretty far from it. Oh, and look at that, they released this album on Christmas, cute. A real stocking stuffer for the “struggles to regularly shower” kinda crowd.
