Extreme Noise Terror - Law Of Retaliation


Extreme Noise Terror are one of key early UK Crust/Grind bands and still exist today since was formed in Ipswich in January 1985. "Law Of Retaliation is their newest LP released in 2008 under Osmose Records, after their split EP with Trap Them released also in 2008. Containing 19 tracks, in this LP, Extreme Noise Terror are always find a healthy mixing of metallic aggression with punk attitude, leaving an indelible impact after hearing them. Everything is so deathly desperate and fast, you can’t help being overwhelmed by it all. Most songs are just under 2 minutes, the few that go beyond it do so for only a few seconds. That keeps things concise, an apocalyptic heap of fury and mayhem, all neatly packaged for your listening delight. 

Extreme Noise Terror was one of the first to play an aggressive style crust punk. This crust punk would later be known as grindcore but Extreme Noise Terror never really played pure grindcore. They were highly influential, spawning countless crustcore bands to be born. Even Mick Harris and Barney from the Legendary Napalm Death ever joining into Extreme Noise Terror in the past days. And with "Law Of Retaliation", Extreme Noise Terror return to their roots of grinding hardcore punk featuring the original savage vocal duo spitting forth venomous politically & socially aware lyrics!
