Total Massacre have a directness and simplicity that is kind of a lost art these days; it was a hallmark of the punk scene back in the 1980’s and is what gave the music of that era the immediacy that inspired young people to engage in acts of resistance to fascism. We need more of that. – Chris Hannah, Propagandhi. With their self-titled debut, Total Massacre brought 13 tracks of blistering, LOUD, raw punk rock, clocking in at around 20 minutes, and their follow up isn’t much different. Recorded over just two days, at their home base of operations, Beer City Studios, the album was recorded almost entirely live, and captures the raw energy and emotion of a band finding its voice, and then just letting it fucking rip. Mastered by the legend, Jason Livermore (Descendents, Off With Their Heads, NOFX) at the Blasting Room, Total Massacre’s sophomore release is every bit as heavy and unrelenting as it is clear, both sonically and thematically.
