Modern Pain
Peace Delusions
MODERN PAINs Peace Delusions can be described as "if In Utero was a hardcore punk record," but even that might be underselling the Dallas bands first full-length. This new album resembles a golden artifact unearthed from the 80s American hardcore underground, harnessing the unbridled aggression of groundbreaking acts like SSD, POISON IDEA and INFEST and filtering it through the caustic, ashy atmospheres and unfettered noise rock of Texan predecessors SCRATCH ACID and the JESUS LIZARD, as well as MOSS ICONs murky, wordy pathos. This unpredictable, nerve-damaging, half-hourlong debut full-length remains at its core a spacey, noisy punk record.
