Review
Stoner
Punk Rockers L.M.I. return for another round of blistering and
bruising sounds with their new EP. Nothing much has changed since
L.M.I.’s last release. The music is still ferocious as ever with a
meaty Stoner Rock/Metal vibe. Though there is still a lot of Hardcore
Punk riffs to keep the Punk Rockers happy as well. The vocals are
very different with vocalist adapting a more hardcore/death based
growl.
The
EP only lasts for about 12 minutes and that’s about the right
length for this EP. As it’s not the most happiest of records I’ve
came across recently. So if you’re in the mood for an angry
outburst of heavy sludgy punk riffs the L.M.I are the band for you.
The standout songs on the EP are Weaning Youth, First To Dark and
June Was A Test.
The
band still feel heavily inspired by At The Drive-In on parts of the
EP and that’s no bad thing if you’re aiming for a certain
Hardcore Punk Rock sound. Though I did admire the band for adding
little cool moments of Psychedelic Rock on Lurking Breath.
Overall
this is very good and well-meaning release from L.M.I. and should
keep their fans happy until they release their next pissed-off
release.
