Claustrophobia, by Voltage

Claustrophobia

by Voltage

supported by

damieninbred From the get-go, we’re annihilated by an absolute brutal onslaught of the heaviest, fullest-sounding D-beat I’ve heard in a long time. VOLTAGE takes the DIS formula up a several notches, moving into WOLFPACK territory (especially in the vocals! Hot damn!). This isn’t your typical “noise, not music” school of D-beat – the musical chops on display are second to none.

about

VOLTAGE from Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada offers up 5 new tracks of charged rocknroll following up their 2022 demo The War to End All Wars. BLOWN OUT MEDIA releases 300 black vinyl 7-inch records in double-sided fold-over cover with lyrics and photo of the band in action. Records are available from the Blown Out Media bigcartel shop at the link in the bio, or by contacting Blown Out Media at the link below.

British Columbian band Voltage’s 2022 demo, The War to End All Wars, led with a Dis-charged uppercut, and followed that up with a hefty Motörcrust wallop. Voltage’s new EP, Claustrophobia, is heavier and burlier (both welcome additions), while musically, Claustrophobia follows a similar brute-force punk ‘n’ roll path. The five songs here have rock-solid hooks, and they hit hard, too; “Claustrophobia” batters, “Sanctuary” pummels, and “Can’t Stay Clean” clobbers, etc. Voltage’s songs land with savage impact, and while Claustrophobia is a bruising encounter, its short, sharp tracks are made for repeat listening: a knockout release all round.

Wounds Of The Withering Heart
by Gormoth

supported by 12 fans who also own “Claustrophobia”

Gormoth 1219 plays mournful and elegant (even cosmic on occasion) Hungarian dsbm that's more Celestia than Happy Days; always a welcome change of pace! This latest EP is the one-man project's most thoughtful and mature of the lot, never settling into a specific gloomy mood for long but always black as pitch. Beautiful. Vintage Devilry
