So we normally stick to reviewing albums that have been released within the last six months, but sometimes we make exceptions. I don't know why we didn't cover Pressure's Beasts already, but we haven't. So I apologize. This LA outfit pretty much destroys all on this six-song 7”. Over the course of the record the band unleashes an off kilter combination of hardcore, rock and roll, and dirge. I'd say the closes bands to there sound would be Cursed, Doomriders, and Holyghost. And then there is the closer, “M.F.C.” - the song could have been a Clutch b-side. If abrasive and thundering hardcore is your thing, then anything from Pressure is a must own - and they've got several other recordings to pick up as well.
