Description
Stingray “Enemy” 12″ EP
A five track mini-album to follow-up the Fortress Britain full-length album of 2023, a barrage of modern political hardcore punk. Anarcho punk in origin, by way of metallic crust – leads to Stingray sounding not too far removed from Extinction Of Mankind (consequently, trace it back to first gen ND/Sacrilege/Antisect/, too). However, this London outfit not only expand on that style, they also bring something uniquely themselves to this stench-soaked sonic template – a reinterpretation through the filter of many other wholesome influences, no doubt. The important thing is that it is all delivered loud, hard, well-produced/preformed, with memorable songs that carry a depth of meaning and self expression. Some manic guitar shredding adds another level of manic tension. Really thrilling, in fact. These guys have a scary-arse vibe that is, very much, all of their own.
“Recorded at Fuzzbrain by Jonah Falco. Mixed and mastered by Chris Corry at the Paincave. Draped in a Tin Savage sleeve, and released on the ever eternal home of musical suffering, La Vida Es Un Mus Discos.”
“Everything here is possessed with a disgustingly burly sense of heft and charged with a powerful, purposeful walk-through-walls energy. Like Bastard by way of Sacrilege the riffs bulldoze everything in their path, while the vocalist sounds like he’s belligerently coughing up endless lungfuls of burning sand. ” – Collective
