As is the tradition of old school, basement black metal tapes, the self titled Quincunx tape is gritty and shitty in the best possible ways.
With songs ranging from the fast paced kick in the teeth of Gasoline Punishment to slower and crustier Death’s Head Lifestyle. With howling distortion heavy vocals and not a single fuck being given when it comes to the rest of the instruments, you can really tell that meeting Quincunx in a dark alley could very possibly be more than a little terrifying.
Check out their track Commit to Black:
From the moment Gasoline Punishment kicks in to the final note of Commit to Black, Quincunx manages to hold a consistent lo-fi menace while delivering 7 tracks of blackened venom straight to your ear holes. Their grit is and knife in the gut attitude definitely exude the message that the world should burn.
I’m not saying this band’s gonna change the world, because they’re more likely to light it on fire and then stand in it just to spite the fire for not burning everything to cinders fast enough, but it’s a damn solid addition to the world of lo-fi. I’m definitely interested to see where they go from here.
And you can TRY to get a tape from Colloquial Sound Recordings HERE, but they’re currently sold out.
