Concede - Indoctrinate

 

I got to visit Perth last year when I spoke at WAMcon. It was a really cool event where I learned a lot. One of the things that struck me about the city though was the breadth and excellence of their punk scene. Concede are another great addition to this community. The powerviolence madness of their new record, Indoctrinate is simply masterful. There is a balls out assault here that captures the imagination and leaves me utterly in awe. Few bands can go for the throat, and continually execute as well as the guys in Concede routinely do. 

There is something devilish and magical about this record. The sheer hatred that they spouse on these songs is inherently thrilling and the super short song structures ensure that you're too busy getting beaten over the head to even think about being bored! This is a band who revel in rolling in the filth. The bile that they spit on a track like the lightning speed, 'Brainwash' is utterly stunning. As a general rule the production on this album is absolutely stellar for the genre. The drums sound perfect, the vocals sit in the ideal place in the mix and the guitar tone - fuck, it's been a while since I've heard powerviolence guitars get this heavy.

Concede are a band who I could quite easily see going on to be competitors with Nails. They are a band who writhe in the murk and perfectly build upon the classic tropes of the powerviolence genre. The raw energy of these songs and the glorious hatred within makes it the perfect soundtrack to the apocalypse that we are all experiencing. Indoctrinate is a masterful goddamn offering that will beat you over the head and leave you in awe. They are violent, aggressive and not afraid to hide it. If you're willing to dive into the pit you'll fall in love.

  1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
