Remission – “Absolute Power”

After emerging in 2010 to end a decade-long hiatus for the northern Wisconsin crust punk veterans, Absolute Power marks a blistering return to form. Jointly released across cooperative underground labels including Profane Existence, Crimes Against Humanity Records, Sysdumb Records, and Bacon Towne Records, this 7-inch EP showcases a savage, multi-vocal dynamic that feels both politically urgent and completely untamed. What makes this record exceptionally cool is how seamlessly Remission bridges the chasm between classic 90s American crustcore and blistering European d-beat. Listeners can easily trace the DNA of legendary, heavy-hitting outfits like Disrupt and Civil Disobedience, alongside the racing, apocalyptic rhythms of Scandinavian icons like Anti-Cimex and Totalitär. The heavy, distorted delivery on tracks like Tears Of Blood and the crushing title track Absolute Power delivers an absolute wall of sound, serving as an essential spin for those who like their subterranean punk dark, furious, and fiercely principled.
