A reissue of Public Acid’s 2018 debut LP, which sold out long ago, and was a precursor to last year’s raging Condemnation EP.
Guttural vocals skitter across feedback fuelled distortion and a truly pummelling, cymbal drenched rhythm section. The band forges a raw, abrasive hardcore foundation, calling upon Italian and Japanese traditions in equal measure, but isn’t averse to unleashing death metal riffs and chaotic metal-tinged solos to complete its relentless sonic assault.
Easy Weapons was the debut from North Carolina’s Public Acid. Originally self-released by the band in 2018 in a criminally small press of 300, LVEUM is proud to finally get it back in print.
PUBLIC ACID’s debut is an extremely ugly, powerfully distorted record. Taking cues from the outer fringes of both Japanese and Italian hardcore punk and combining it with the weirdness of early primitive black metal, pushing the feedback, noise and performing intensity in to the red from the first note.
PUBLIC ACID execute very idiosyncratic song writing. Full of memorable riffs that twist and turn on a constantly out of control ride, which gives it a very urgent feeling of confusion and chaos. The ferocity and out-there-ness of luminaries ala G.I.S.M. or PARABELLUM, and the immediacy of WRETCHED, NERORGASMO or SHOTGUN SOLUTION in the hell of a modern sui-generis punk album.
