York, PA hardcore trio, Police State, offer a smashing debut built on the sonic chaos of crusty thrash punk.
With the volume turned up to eleven and hardline leftist political lyrics, Rot In Prejudice fully delivers well-conceived songs that stand out from the typical crust cookie-cutter. Blasting d-beats merge with crushing doom riffs as tortured, screaming vocals lament on our society’s decay, making you want to slam dance and headbang all within the same song. It’s a whirlwind of early Doom and Neurosis, with some Amebix and San Francisco’s Fuckface thrown in to round out the sound.
With ten songs clocking in at twenty-two minutes, R.I.P. is a furious, raging beast that won’t let up until it’s finished. And to think, this is just the beginning for Police State…
