Italian crossover thrashers Spoiled have been around the scene since 2016, but things really got going in 2021 with the current line up..

On the verge of releasing this, their debut full length album of no holds barred crossover, this 15 track banger only lasts 26 minutes, and is a relentless assault of riffs, punishing drums and barked vocals

Listing D.R.I., S.O.D., Slayer, Iron Reagan, Crumbsuckers, Ratos de Porão, Raw Power, Nuclear Assault, and Municipal Waste as some of their influences this definitely sits on the punk side of the crossover genre, and at times the vocal delivery heads into the early grind core side (check out track 8 ‘Napalm’).

And the punk ethos runs through the veins of the album, it sounds really DIY.. in a really good way, this is a band that you’d want to see playing in a dirty dive venue, warehouse or house party, a band that make everyone lose their shit.

The song’s are short, most less than 2 minutes long, and are so short they are honestly not that memorable as an individual tracks, but once again that honestly doesn’t matter, because slammed together, they just make me want to dive into a pit… none of that circle pit shit, this is one that needs the push and shove, collision making, stage diving, bone jarring, headbanging, PROPER moshing pit that leaves you broken, battered and concussed.

Nothing particularly new, nothing particularly memorable but great fun whilst it lasts! Great job Spoiled!!

Collapse is released via Gruesome Records/Selvajaria Records on the 27th February or keep an eye on the bands Bandcamp Page HERE
