They say love is a universal language. But this eponymous EP by Norway’s Assistert Sjølmord is downright angry, so maybe they got that one wrong. I don’t know what they are singing about on here at all, though I can discern a few words from the song titles. But this 7” is a 7-song rager.
The drums set the tone, rapid fire on “Klimabombe.” But the choppy guitars of “Evig Fred” keep up, and the vocals are pure snarl throughout. Before I even knew what punk rock was, I had a sound in my head and it was basically “Satan Eige Meg,” with primal anger and raw emotion. “Eget Gasskammer” hits similar vibes.
Short ‘n’ brutal, this 7” is a keeper with 7 songs in maybe 9 minutes total.
Recommended for fans of spit, vinegar, and rubbing salt in your wounds.
