Primitive Warfare: Primitive Warfare (2019)

I kept hearing great things about this demo.  So much, that I finally decided to check it out.  The fact that it kept getting compared to "war metal" bands like Impiety, Bestial Warlust, Tetragrammacide and others sealed the deal.  Also, I kind of love the band's logo. 

This is a very quick, three-song demo, but it will leave listeners exhausted.  It is a high-speed, balls-to-the-wall intense, hyperactive few songs.  And it really does sound what warfare must sound like, with the cannon-fire drums, neck-breaking riffs, and the gruff dual vocal styles, it is absolute chaos.  It is a punishing and brutal demo that hits hard, continues hitting hard and never lets up on the throttle throughout. 

The only issue with the release is that the songs kind of blend together.  I had a little difficulty telling when one song would end and the other start.  The last track is a little easier with the ambient noise lead-in.  But the songs do sound kind of the same.  But that is bound to happen with a band who just beats the listener into submission.  Maybe it's a good thing there are only three songs here?

Longtime readers know how much of a fan I am of the "war metal" bands.  Primitive Warfare fits in with those bands very well.  I am excited to have found another group.  I am eagerly awaiting a full-length.
