Is World Burns to Death an angry band? Yes, in that way that the sun is just a tad shiny, yes, World Burns to Death is miffed. They’re not down with the current situation. Which one? Pick one.

Unlike most bands, it’s more than just imagery for World Burns to Death. Although the lyrics and artwork they use is decidedly anti-capitalist, anti-government and anti-Republican, World Burns to Death isn’t down with the current musical situation either. They play ripping D-beat-influenced hardcore that’s more than just trend-free. It has a timeless quality. This reflects a conscious decision to absorb and amalgamate the multiple sub-genres of hardcore into a pure and focused version of the style. In other words, use the best stuff and ignore the crap. World Burns to Death features ex-members of bands that you know, so there’s a hint as to their instrumental proficiency.

The other remarkable thing about World Burns to Death is that they, along side Signal Lost, have reenergized a formerly stagnant ATX punk scene. While the posers are whining about their girlfriends, World Burns to Death is out brutalizing listeners. The Sucking of the Missile Cock is more than just blinding speed. They slow it down when necessary yet no acoustic, Metallica-type riffs are to be found. As a matter of fact, this record is far less metal-influenced that most Scandinavian D-Beat bands. There’s no mosh on here either. Instead, The Sucking of the Missile Cock has an old-school, terrifying, Necros/Negative Approach vibe. This is very cool stuff.
