ABUSE - Consumed Ep
€3.00
No tax
Rennes has always known how to keep the flame alive. With Consume, ABUSE confirms that something serious is happening in Brittany's capital city: four new tracks that summon the founding ghosts of the movement without ever settling for mere imitation. The '77 lineage is obvious from the very first seconds — that sense of the direct riff, that urgency in the attack, that economy of means elevated to an aesthetic. But what sets Consume apart from a simple vintage postcard is the Swedish influence that thickens the whole thing. The sound gets sharper, rougher, with that grimy yet precise production readily associated with Scandinavian label releases — somewhere between the brutality of a Discharge filtered through Stockholm and a punk-rock melody that remains, at heart, resolutely British in spirit. Four tracks, no fat, no compromise. ABUSE knows what it wants to say and says it fast. That's the whole strength of the format: the record ends before you've had time to get comfortable, and that's exactly the intended effect — you put the needle back at the start. Highly recommended.
