KILLER INSTINCT - DEMO: A REVIEW

yo, if you don't know my man Joey from the Poconos you're fucking up. best dude around. anyway i got a hold of the emps for his old bands' demo, Killer Instinct. let's break it down song by song:

1- Intro
i see where this is going. good groove mosh going on. would most definately pit.

2- I'm Not Impressed
boom, goes straight into a fast skank part. pissed off vocals and lyrics, NY style. kind of reminds me of Inside Out NY mixed with like Sick Of It All 7" era. a ill groove part with hi hats and double picking between verses, then boom into a fast part which keeps things interesting, and back to the first part. pretty good.

3- Outburst
the opening riff could've had it's place on the Raw Deal '89 demo, that's for sure. it goes into a fast skank part with vocals coming at you like fire. i really dig the riffs on this joint, very late 80s nyhc which im sure that's what they were going for. Joey and I definately have long nerd out sessions about that particular era. the last riff is more reminiscent of early 2000's bands such as No Warning, which definately isn't a bad thing at all. my favorite so far.

4- Rude Awakening (Outro)
this kicks off with a slowish part, on some Crown Of Thornz tip or something. then out of NOWHERE this ill groove kicks off. just like that. BOOM. bobbing my head pretty hard to this. then it slows down into a crunchy mosh part that i'd see James Dijan windmill to in the NYHC documentary. it picks back up to a low skank style rhythm with a pretty hard riff layered on top of it. dope.

that's it. the production is good, the vocals are really sick (even though he says otherwise) and this is basically a tribute to NYHC of all eras. very dope. i wish they were still a band. got any shirts left? i rock a XXL. peace.
