The rising Los Angeles outfit Slaughterhouse and Mexico\u2019s Flores Y Fuego come together for four incendiary tracks that appear here for the first time on vinyl and will be sure to satiate fans of hardcore and punk from any era. <\/p>\n
The powerful and buzzing energy of Guadalajara\u2019s Flores y Fuego begins with \u201cAbraza el Fracaso,\u201d where furious drumming via Eduardo and razor sharp guitars thanks to Rafael are met with the smooth yet fierce singing. \u201cManifesto Ruin\u201d follows and trims the pace back with some post-punk flavor and subdued melody, as Fernando\u2019s throbbing bass rumbles amid the swirling guitar and shouted moments from Melisa\u2019s commanding pipes that are somehow still melodic. <\/p>\n
Slaughterhouse start their side with the atmospheric and mysterious \u201cPoison,\u201d which doesn\u2019t waste any time escalating into \u201980s nods and death-rock moments thanks to Taylor Ramirez\u2019s moody guitar and Eddie Cairn\u2019s meticulous bass. \u201cState Of Emergency\u201d then gets scrappy, vocally more forceful via Meriel O\u2019Connel\u2019s inimitable pipes and packs Nick Aguilar\u2019s hard-hitting drums into a distinct, droning and noisy version of punk. <\/p>\n
Flores y Fuego might draw similarities to legends like Los Crudos, Turnstile, Amyl & The Sniffers, Tomar Control or Huasipungo, while Slaughterhouse have already shared the stage with Bad Religion, Pennywise, Social Distortion and Alkaline Trio. Their respective formulas really do complement each other well, and serve as a fine introduction for the first time listener. <\/p>\n
An excellent package of some of the best modern punk you\u2019ll find today, this record is housed in eye-catching artwork (both bands contributed their own individual art), a colorful, informative lyric sheet and it even comes on oxblood colored wax. There were only 1,000 pressed, so I wouldn\u2019t waste too much time dilly-dallying on this one. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":35200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[11043],"rating":[5646],"class_list":["post-47083","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-flores-y-fuego-slaughterhouse","rating-rating-a"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/47083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/47083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35200"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=47083"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=47083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
