S.H.I.T.: Demo 2023 cassette
Haunted / Imminent Destruction are the first new S.H.I.T. tracks since the world ended in 2020. Along with the two new tracks, the tape also includes S.H.I.T.'s unique take on Crucifix's 'Annihilation' & Blitz's 'Never Surrender.' Originally only available at Shitmas in 2022, the two new tracks find the band plunging further into the depths of chaotic simplicity once again. Like a jackhammer to the skull or being trapped inside a controlled demolition. Recorded at the Concrete Smile with Matthew Tomasi, Dec 2022.
Our take: Toronto’s S.H.I.T. dropped this limited 4-song tape at last years SHITmas event, and now they’re back with a great-sounding, pro-duplicated version for the masses. If you dug the recent Hidden in Eternity 7”, the two new original tracks here pick up where those left off, giving us a more straightforward, streamlined version of S.H.I.T. For me, their I 7” from 2016 represented an apogee of S.H.I.T.’s older style, taking the bruising pogo beats, meaty riffs, and delayed vocals about as far as they could go. Since then, it sounds to me like S.H.I.T. has pulled back from those signature elements of their sound, proving they’re not just a band with a distinctive sound, but a great, classic hardcore band. The great riffing is still there, but the drumming is faster and less swingy (“Imminent Destruction” has some cool stuff happening on the toms too), and most noticeably, Ryan’s vocals have a cleaner sound and are no longer drenched in delay. Besides the two new original tracks, we also get covers of Crucifix’s “Annihilation” and Blitz’s “Never Surrender,” and aside from a creepy robotic voice reading the intro to the Crucifix song, these interpretations are also straightforward. It’s hardcore punk with no bells and whistles, just a bunch of seasoned players making great, timeless hardcore punk.
