This is mind-blowing, the boys in Exhausted Cocks can be really proud of, what I will call it, a very strong comeback. You see, I wasn’t very impressed of their demo (Outhouse demo, 2019), but this 4-track EP has lot’s of quality. The key difference between the both releases is the production, which is much better now. I am actually delighted to listen to this record, that is more than I could say about their demo.
The musical performance is still primitive, distorted and raw, something like GG Allin, Antiseen and Germs. I guess that some fans of Exhausted Cocks prefered their demo sound but don’t count me in there. I like how the both vocalists take the lead vocals in turns, especially in ”Into the slumber”, that is a good song, but the initial song ”Witch” is even better.
I have to admit that I am a big sucker of 4/4 drum beats, which they got a lot of. But even though the music is very punkrockish, there is a constantly present feeling of hardcore as well, probably because of the raw vocals. Running time: 11 minutes.
