Description
In fact, the whole body horror genre is an influence on The Body Hammer, an aptly named album, and sonically, this is a record that could do a whole lot of damage to your body due its sheer intense nature and this something that Endless Swarm do with considerable passion.
From the very start, The Body Hammer is relentless in its pursuit of fierce and razor sharp noise, and early tracks on the album like the opening detonation of ‘New Life From Decay’ and ‘Therapy Chamber’ explode and from then on in, Endless Swarm simply do not let up at all, until the very end of the album has been reached.
With an ample amount of hardcore grooves as well and a nice line in discordant noise. In amongst the fervent grinding powerviolence, Endless Swarm have made an album that will satisfy longtime fans and committed grind heads, but with this much frenetic energy going on here, they will over a lot of new listeners as well.
The Body Hammer is another lesson in powerviolence and demonstrates exactly why Endless Swarm are such a formidable force in extreme music, with this album, they continue to go from strength to strength. If you like your music consumed completely by a raging intensity, then you won’t go wrong with The Body Hammer.
