Label: Self-released
Recorded during the same sessions as their demo cassette, this new EP from Philadelphia’s Kinetic Orbital Strike delivers five more truncheon strikes of ear-splitting hardcore punk. KOS sounds like a band who knows exactly who they are, mining the same Discharge influences as Anti-Cimex, Disaster, Disclose, Framtid, and beyond, but—like those bands—placing their own stamp on the tradition. An old new sound to match a new old war, and a fitting soundtrack to the impending apocalypse.
