DRIPBACK are a band that the instant I heard, I fell madly obsessed with. Their incredible blend of Grind, death and blackened sludge is a true breath of fresh air and a long long wait has been had for this, their debut full length.

I am incredibly happy to see that they have stuck to their guns and have made the choice to self release this album despite their contacts within the industry and countless positive reviews, and how they are releasing it is awesome too. A Vinyl and shirt deal is available for JUST £20!! Which also comes with a download of the album too so you would have to be pretty dumb not to take them up on this amazing offer!

As for the album itself, the usual sample ridden cockney swagger remains a driving force for this from the get go and Wez’s caustic vocal style is the real gem in this rager of a debut (if only they were turned up a little higher in the mix).

With song titles like ‘Cessation of Suffering’ and Embodying Emptiness’ you can see that its a pretty bleak themed album and one they pull off with absolute viciousness, its absolutely relentless BUT once finished the only thing that must be done is press that ‘play’ button once again.

The highlights for me come from epic instrumental piece ‘Failed Future’, The “Black Dahlia” style melodic ‘Victims’ and the crushing track ‘Forgotten Code’ as it has that belter of a chorus mixed in with the trademark gang vocals that give Dripback that Hardcore flavour.

So take the advice of the opening line “Ooooh are you Fucking listening to me! I said COME ON YOU CUNT!” and get this on the go, you will not be disappointed!
