Atrocity Solution
Lost Remedies

Lost Remedies is another beautiful album from the year of our Lord two thousand thirteen. Two hooded figures stand back to back holding a lantern, illuminating only a few meters ahead, while the moon rises behind them. It's not a night like any other.

On Bandcamp, it reads:

"The ska will make you dance, the thrash will make you mosh, the epicness will make your heart sink into your chest and the anthemic vocals will have you singing for days. But there's also hints of crust that will make your floors shake, Doom that will crash down like lighting and boom like thunder under your feet"

New chapter to be written in charred letters under the headline Crack Rock Steady. What is Crack Rock Steady? This: a bastard, catchy, and flammable genre. Stuff that burns, always on the verge of exploding and scorching your eyebrows. At first, it reminds of a sort of Ska(core)-punk that's completely flipped out, it’s serious chaos. Choking Victim, "No Gods, No Managers". The starting point is more or less that, that irreverent and bastard album from 1999 that took rocksteady sounds and did wicked things with them, the one where Stza was mocking, yelling, turning into a devil, continuous references to a playful, lively yet tremendously angry and polemic Satanism to hurt those who deserved it. They recorded it in one day, Choking Victim, and disbanded the next day. Then other creatures were born, molded by the hands of the original Choking Victim members or by others influenced by them, and so the infernal rocksteady still spreads its infection. And Stza was throwing donuts at the cops.

These guys, inspired by the squatters who did all this around the turn of the millennium, have released 2 albums in recent times. Especially the second is a real bomb. Incendiary throughout its entire duration. But you can feel that Lost Remedies took some work, work that resulted in a great outcome, in a full production, such big sounds, an almost perfect use of the means at their disposal. There's nothing out of place. Everything starts with an introduction that from a "what-the-hell-are-you-doing-in-a-skapunk-disc I mean to have the epic flair it has the epic flair but.." transitions to a "Cool!" and flows into the second track that is, immediately, an "Instant Classic". The air of "Instant Classic" is not only in "Equally Diseased" but also in "Watch The World Burn" and "Ancient Roads", strings that precede monstrously catchy riffs and devastating sing-along parts.

Not satisfied, they also place the Epic Crust track of twelve minutes at the end. Just to finish everything in a single, even more glorious, flare-up.

They also have a totally folk project, We The Heathens. Always DIY, always hot stuff.
