Release Notes:
All that matters in the grand scheme of things is the band is not directly
comparable to what has come before them. But if we must:
RETOX is an outcome of stagnant and boring western culture, as well as the
self-proclaimed counterculture, which has slipped into a sea of pointlessness.
The band manages to detach themselves from what one might consider a promotional
paragraph trying to explain what is not really important to the band themselves;
such as a list of influencesΓ??they are influenced by much more than music, but
more so by the world at large. The band has no goal for what the future holds.
Sonically, the bandΓ??s crude and primitive aspects make sense in this day and
age. The band is a reaction to the world that the members and their comrades
have lived in: shitty childhoods, bureaucratic frustration, and the overall
justification of continuous war. That sensibility coupled with a modern artistic
delivery, the music is educated as well as furious, and most importantly,
blurring genre lines of punk, hardcore, thrash, metal and whatever else seems
fitting to the critics. RETOX features members of some grand dick sucking
accomplishments, acts such as The Locust, Head Wound City, Holy Molar, All
Leather, Some Girls, Swing Kids, Le Butcherettes, Cattle Decapitation, Struggle,
The Festival of Dead Deer, and The Crimson Curse.
