I had to listen to Rupture...again...already...and so do you! These are my fave ever releases from the band, when they were concentrated hardcore thrash 120% of the time. Rupture stripped paint with no chug, down tuning, or lowered vocals, with buzzsaw guitars taking a majority of inspiration from the entirety of Sweden's mid 80's thrash scene (Righteous Fuck is where I first heard Headcleaners as a sick cover of their track "With Medication"). Heresy and Intense Degree were just as fast and occasionally abrasive, but their songs didn't blast nonstop, and philosophically the members were firm believers in keepin' it posi n' skatin' gay. Rupture is your incestuous hebephile cousin who's always going to rehab for meth (and their lyrics weren't far off from that!).
