Hardcore has a long history of existing in hostile and outright repressive places. From military dictatorships to the autocratic Orbán regime in Hungary, where for the last decade NORMS have been churning out furious and challenging hardcore. Mixing the uncomfortable noodling jazz-punk of Saccharine Trust and late Black Flag with squealing guitar and cowbell ala Negazione, all at with speed and stop start aggression of No Comment. Odd rhythms give way to bursts of rage in this tightly wound and thrilling release. Fans of Cold Sweat and Nasa Space Universe should especially take note. You’re in for a wild fourteen and a half minutes. Split released by 11PM Records and Total Peace.
