DVP 151 Tøronto – Under Siege MLP


UnderSiege-Cover-small-300x300.png


DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TØRONTO’s striking debut mini-album, Under Siege, on 12” vinyl and digital formats.

Hailing from Sweden, TØRONTO formed in 2017, partly out of the ashes of the sorely missed Morbus Chron – vocalist/guitarist Edvin Aftonfalk and bassist Dag Landin, here under the stage names Eddie Flawless and 79-83, respectively – and also powerhouse drummer Leo Ekström Sollenmo, from the well-respected Lethal Steel and Temisto, under the name Lt. Oxtreme as well as one Seb Cyborg on guitars. With this lineup in place, the quartet released their debut demo in 2018 and then the Nocturnal High tape on DYING VICTIMS later that year. That latter title alone suggested that something strange ‘n’ salacious was indeed afoot…

And it is! Wanna get nocturnal higher? Then become Under Siege! Encompassing the strides they made across their two demos, TØRONTO’s first longer-playing record is a rush of weird ‘n’ wild speed metal heavily informed by hardcore punk. Put simply, one could imagine the sound of Under Siege as greased-up NWOBHM colliding headlong into early Razor and Warfare, but overseen by Inepsy, mid ‘80s Discharge, and even Howard Benson-era Motörhead. Shit shreds, fast and free, each raucous-yet-rockin’ section charging into the night but equally exuding an unselfconsciously subtle minimalism that somehow gets these eight bangers over and done with in an average of barely two minutes each. Put another way, one could also imagine the zombified spirit of Morbus Chron holding court here, in the sense that that band both embodied and defied death metal; TØRONTO similarly does such with speed metal, but again renders it into an alternately ideal/oblique form that’s entirely theirs – and this is just the start.

While maybe not as off-the-wall weird as GISM’s NWOBHM/noise mélange M.A.N., TØRONTO are treading comparably rarified ground with Under Siege, and their trajectory into the strange is assured. Get with their program or get out of the way!

Der Song da oben ist ein Komplettabriss und ich halte es für bedenklich, dass sich @zopilote da noch nicht zu geäußert hat.

Ja geil, knallt! Toronto - nicht die AOR-Mucke, mit der ich gerechnet hatte ;) Will aber live qualifiziert werden diese Musik. Also her damit und nicht in Schweden, Land des 1-Tour-auf-100-geile-Bands-Paradoxons, versauern. Kann ja nicht jeder gleich unterwürfig seine Sachen packen und da hinziehen.

Boah, richtig geiles Zeug! Denke mir noch beim Erstdurchlauf: "Gott, ist das schön - wie damals der Abriss von Obnoxious Youth beim Wolf City Fest!" Und zack - erspähe ich auf dem Backcover einen Dude im OY-Shirt. Die 33 1/3 rpm auf den Center-Labels sind übrigens gelogen - aber nich' mit Leo...! Jetzt muss bei der nächsten DVP-Bestellung - und zum Glück gibt es immer eine nächste DVP-Bestellung - noch das letzte Demo her (gibt's das erste eigentlich noch irgendwo?).

Ach du Scheiße, ich hab die bis jetzt tatsächlich auch auf 33 laufen lassen! Steht ja so auch auf dem Label.... :jubel:

Funktioniert aber in der Tat in beiden Varianten.... :cool:
 
So hat man aber Abwechslung mit beiden Varianten. Die 33er ist schwerer und sludgecrustiger in den Gitarren. Hat echt auch was.
