IRON LUNG
"Sexless / No Sex" (Prank;
2008)
Reviewed by Mike SOS
Seattle's dastardly duo Iron Lung play a no-frills, cut-to-the-chase, power-violence-infused form of hardcore whose relentless abrasiveness propels this tandem's latest unsettling 20-track presentation.
Fueled by copious amounts of dissonance, spastic tempo changes, and unabashed exhibitions of anger, jagged tracks such as "Cancer," "Politics of Science," and "Future Corpses" fly by with a vicious velocity and are smothered with the type of crust-laden sludge best suited for the crowd who hold nothing back to showcase their genuine disdain for the world.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
