The debut EP from Aussie deathcore dealers Honest Crooks is a mosh-worthy slab of thudding grind that fuses slamming death metal with beatdown hardcore. Not content with mere Cookie Monster grunts and chest-thumping breakdowns, the band’s ominous guitar leads send tracks like “Imminent Threat” and “Force Fed” into spiraling atmospheric overdrive, while “Bone Crusher” and the harmonic squeal-laden “False Gods” boast scathing guest vocals from fellow Aussie brutalists Disentomb and Justice for the Damned, respectively.
