While undeniably melodic crust at it’s core,
Burden of Beast, the first
LP from San Diego based hardcore outfit, AGE OF COLLAPSE, traverses a
very thin genre line occasionally teetering into the realms of related
punk, metal, doom and more. Harsh vocals backed by crushing distortion
give way to atmospheric, reverb laden interludes, which personify the
bands complex, almost schizophrenic songwriting. Contempt for humanity
and it’s deconstruction of the natural world gives life to a tragic
landscape that plays out as the main theme of this powerful and
inventive record. Recorded at Big Fish Studios by Dan Maier and mastered at Mammoth Sound by Dan Randall.
This is the
special edition version, limited to 50 copies on clear vinyl, includes hand-numbered silk screened outer cover, cassette, mp3 download card and printed lyric insert.
