Absolut is a hardcore punk band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Punk Survival is their debut LP. Absolut play a speedy brand of hardcore influenced by bands like Anti-Cimex and Gauze.
The vocals are incomprehensible screams of a demon being tortured, the
guitar ranges from tight, noisy hardcore riffs to wild, Slayer-esque
screaming solos and the drums are never anything less than utterly
chaotic. The lofi production only serves to heighten the hardcore
pummeling, this album is best played in a room full of people with
multiple strobe lights flashing. If you like your hardcore to be
absolutely pummeling with no mind for anything else, Absolut's Punk
Survival will serve well.
