When a band is in a position to achieve into the previous and draw from neatly worn influences and make it their very own, you recognize you’ve were given one thing particular for your arms. After I first put GYLT’s new EP I Will Devote A Holy Crime in my cassette deck I used to be right away inquisitive about how neatly they’ve taken the evil, moody, and excessive sounds of crusty thrash via bands like SACRILEGE, DEVIATED INSTINCT, and ANTISECT and made it sound so contemporary and related.
GYLT’s vicious emblem of hardcore punk is dialed in on each degree sonically, carried excessive via vocalist Iphigenia’s snarling howls. Now and then the howls transform determined, like the tip of “Feral” the place cries of lend a hand from a possessed kid a l. a. The Exorcist create an pressing sense of melancholy, or on opening observe “Table Jockey”; two mins of gloomy goth-tinged perfection that includes spindly guitar leads intermingling with Iphigenia’s shredded yells of “Don’t admit the ache!”
On “Filth Nap”, dizzying guitars create an unsettlingly psychedelic have an effect on that completely accompanies lyrics like “Deep within the filth and beginning to swell/I dream of blood/but it surely feels so actual/Secret Intentions/Divine Intervention.” GYLT are so just right at moments like those, leaning arduous into their theatrical facet and developing an environment that may make your pores and skin move slowly up to it’ll make your head bang.
With upcoming reside dates together with a place at C.Y. Fest along legends like DEATH SIDE, M.D.C., and SKITSYSTEM along with a supporting spot for BLOOD BROTHERS at L.A.’s Belasco Theater, GYLT are briefly making a reputation for themselves and rightfully so; song this intense calls for to be heard!
