II
Die Choking
Heavy Punk Grindcore from Philadelphia. Aye, those guys know what Grindin’ is all about. They are filthy, they are big, they are heavy, they are murderous. Those guys are the great terror of East Coast. Hailing all the way from Pennsylvania, they are DIE CHOKING.
That EP features 5 songs, starting with the song “Non-Yielder”. It’s a fast, short, quick way to get assaulted. This song was written for violence, and the not perfect mix just makes it more brutal and ethnical sounding. I really liked it, big time. DIE CHOKING did here good.
“People Like You” even a shorter song. Do I smell a clone of the band DYING FETUS? I sure do, But they give their own great sound dial unlike the fetus, so they create an abnormal, Heavy sound which kicks a lot of ass. 33 Seconds of complete terror and agony.
“Spent Fuel Pool” is a lot longer from “People Like You” and is a little more gives a Death-And-Roll feel to the music. However, it goes good alongside the demonic vocals of the drummer, and continues to terrorize you along the Extended Play.
“Civilian” gives you a bit more of the later era of the band DEATH, Which similar instrumet lines and singing. I’m very sad, however, that this specific song is so short. I would enjoy a longer version of it much, much more.
The last song of the EP is “Tonsil”. Aye, this song kicks ass. It is heavy, it is fast, and it is more of a some kind of Oldschool Thrash Metal from the underground.
Summing up everything,
DIE CHOKING did here good job creating an EP to enjoy listening to, however – I am very disappointed that the songs are so short and I can’t enjoy them enough from one listen so it made me listen to it over and over again. You could do better, guys, if you recorded longer versions. However, the lyrics, the sound, the feel is really cool and cruel. I liked it.
