Manifested Forms

ive never known quite what to make of powerviolence besides "its cool" cuz it just goes by so fast. grind is a lil more grounded to me, whereas powerviolence is literally built on being spastic. maybe i just gotta listen to more of it...thats very possible. in any case, its the kind of genre id describe as dizzying. manifested forms is kinda disorienting in all the usual pv ways, but i do really really fuck with it. i feel like i can sink my teeth into it whatever the fuck that means. im in love with the vocals, each track slays, whole thing's just one of the most enjoyable powerviolence packages i've heard in a while. it's loud, ugly and fun. the propulsive guitarwork actually makes the unstable time signatures easier to follow on many songs, which is a plus in my book!
