Boston punks Brain Killer take their chops from Discharge, their politics from Crass, their graphic influence from Flux Of Pink Indians, and their love of hardcore noise from Japanese crust punk.
Every Actual State Is Corrupt is one of the finest, fiercest, most functional punk rock records of the year thus far. Reflecting the symbolic violence Pierre Bordieu places at the epicentre of über-capitalist system failure, Brain Killer’s habitus is the very anomie originally theorized by Emile Durkheim back in 1897. Occupying a compatible aural channel to Chicago’s Raw Nerve, Brain Killer’s songs are as aggressive as their titles: ‘So Much Hate’, ‘Consumers’, ‘Breakout’, ‘Resist Control’, ‘Freedom?’, ‘The Cure’, ‘Crucify’, ‘What’s Your Excuse?’, ‘No Escape’, ‘Bigger Problems’, ‘What Is Survival?’
Another indispensable release from Deranged Records. Mandatory.
