They are scum, they are filth, they are caustic, they are mayhem to a beat, they are Vile Gash. This Ohio band creates no holds barred murdercore the way I dig it: mean & with the stench of death smelling up the place with every listen. The band’s 2010 ten song EP via Youth Attack is packed full of hateful jams that punish your brains cells into a state of FTW. Vile Gash do remind me of the hardcore I grew up with in the 80’s with its’ sincere declarations against the powers that be. Actually, it seems like this band has no hope for humankind. Musically, you would think this music is noise, but do not get it wrong – these are well crafted bursts of sonic terror. The drums on this EP run over your humanity repeatedly until you are ground out of existance. I really like the band’s vocalist, with every scream he lets out it seems like there is war going on in his mouth. The thing about about Vile Gash is it seems like they tune their guitars on d-beat shit, which is totally cool by me – they manifest this ocean of distortion with their guitar sound. On the song “Incapable,” the band slows things down on some resin-dipped Black Flag styles that puts you in dirge hell (what happy place to be!). Fuck Pepsi, all I want from Vile Gash is a full album & they better give it to me! After the jump, check out gnarly live footage of Vile Gash plus west coast tour dates!
