Asocial - Religion Sucks EP (1986)

Not quite as brutal as Det Bittre Slutet. Religion Sucks continues in the Discharge pace as opposed to the proto-fastcore/grindcore/power-violence blasting that occurred on How Could Hardcore Get Any Worse?

I think it's the recording and instrument tones that contribute to the less brutal sound. With that said, this is still some powerful and crucial D-Beat. The vocals are more panicked than on Det Britte Slutet, giving the tracks more urgency as opposed to sheer brutality. The same could be said for all of the instruments. It's got a real edge-of-the-seat feeling. The bass tone is more in line of typical
D-Beat. Nasty and distorted. And although the guitars lack the bottom end that the last EP had, the crisp tone, as opposed to heavily distorted, is pretty cool to hear in D-Beat. Drum wise, obviously there are D-Beats aplenty. What else needs to be said!

Crucial Swedish D-Beat!
