The Poisoning: S/T 7"
Ripping metal-punk from Los Angeles/Santa Ana.
Our take: Southern Californiaâs the Poisoning brings us a debut 7â that doesnât sound like anything else happening at the moment, at least that I know of. While a lot of bands fuse metal and punk these days, the way these elements come together on these four tracks is a far cry from the âthrash metal with mosh breaksâ style the words âmetallic punkâ might make you think of. Instead, the Poisoningâs approach reminds me of cult Japanese metal-punk release from the 80s⊠Iâm thinking of records like the Randy Uchida Group 7â, the Bonesâ In a Sick Society, or the Executeâs An Omen of Fear. Like those records, the Poisoningâs EP drips with spooky vibes, with a Christian Death-style creepiness that not too many bands these days capture. Their approach is also similar to those Japanese records in that they have gravelly vocals, stripped-down and punky songs and arrangements, metallic guitar riffing, and playing that is metronomically tight. While a lot of bands who are influenced by 80s Japanese punk go for a noisy and chaotic sound, the Poisoning has a clean and full-sounding mix, which is much closer to the professional production jobs on many of those records. I wouldnât call the Poisoning an homage to that style⊠in fact, I canât even say whether itâs a direct influence, but if you have a taste for that quirky, mid-80s metallic punk sound, the Poisoning will scratch an itch very few contemporary bands can.
