This is raw metal-punk power that unchains the might of\u00a0<b>\u00a0<\/b><strong>Hellhammer<\/strong>, (and yeah ok, ok)\u00a0<strong>Discharge<\/strong>,\u00a0&#8220;Cult is Alive&#8221;-era\u00a0<b>Darkthrone<\/b>,\u00a0<strong>Venom<\/strong>, and <strong>Children of Technology \u2014<\/strong>\u00a0all shouting into the voids of the earth. Speaking of Tommy G. Warrior&#8217;s first band, there&#8217;s also a killer cover of &#8220;Massacra&#8221; which seems to highlight more than previous band&#8217;s covers the perfect mix of raw metal and hardcore (granted their d-beat sounds a tad too &#8220;click-track-y&#8221; here). The pick slides and feedback are also a nice touch. The vocals by drummer Purgatory throughout this are really solid, \u00a0while loud as fuck they don&#8217;t overtake the rest of the band. I&#8217;d like to see where they go from here but they&#8217;re off to a great start.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"100\" src=\"http:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/v=2\/album=3465579374\/size=venti\/bgcol=FFFFFF\/linkcol=4285BB\/\" style=\"position:relative;display:block;width:400px;height:100px;\" allowtransparency=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/a1179191034_10.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-78719\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/a1179191034_10.jpg?resize=578%2C578&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/a1179191034_10.jpg?w=578&amp;ssl=1 578w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/a1179191034_10.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/a1179191034_10.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/a1179191034_10.jpg?resize=130%2C130&amp;ssl=1 130w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/toiletovhell.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/a1179191034_10.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Death Pill makes some really intense and heavy crossover. They start off\u00a0 with the fast, rippin&#8217; and mosh tone intro. Though not exclusively palm muting riffers they&#8217;re a self-described &#8220;riot grrrl&#8221; band. This makes sense as they come across like an update of rad bands like<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/kR9gbtY1SqU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Smut<\/a> from Minneapolis and\u00a0<strong>L7 <\/strong>(by way of say<strong>, The Crumbsuckers<\/strong>).<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Though they&#8217;re from Ukraine a place which has a had a long history of punk and metal, I&#8217;ve never heard anything quite like this from<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>over there<strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>The roaring vocals remind me of a hardcore version of Sabina Claussen from<strong> Holy Moses. <\/strong>The last track &#8220;Die for Vietnam&#8221; uses more melodic vocals mix with the raging rasp from before. Plus, the riffs continue their their uh, &#8220;moshability&#8221;<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The urgency and aggression in their sound is what puts Death Pill over the top.
