As it has been years since I have received a physical copy of a local band's music, played it and not immediately being put off, interest was immediately invoked. ING brings a fresh sound to the table and with politically oriented lyrics they create terrifying imagery. They’re hard to compare, but I would venture to name Exodus as a likeness.
The album gives the feel of revolution on the brink. In a milieu of a heating political atmosphere and general violence, ING establishes an authentic feel. Clocking in at 46 minutes, with 13 tracks in total, this is a full-bodied LP that deserves recognition.
After a comic introduction, the song Ingquisition takes full control. The awesomeness of Thrash occupying your ears is supplemented by a remarkable and fitting solo. The vocals are powerful and adds to the fast-tempo of the rushing guitars. The drums pound away to amazing riffs and I’m immediately sold as a fan.
Subsiding Murder starts with an interesting sample. An impressive bass lick gives way for short, fast transitions that pleases my ears. I love the composition of the vocals; well-crafted drumming adds to the flavour by giving it a swaying feeling.
Organ Donor brings the album to full swing. On the heavier side of things, this is what defines them as Thrash in my eyes. Fast tempo, impressive rhythm and general good mix between the instruments makes for a full bodied sound.
The song Julius is too much. With a comic sample imitating Julius Malema as the retard he is, it’s obvious this band takes a stance on idiocy and I cannot support their fight more. With an epic chorus of ‘Julius’ breaking at 1:56 this is an explosive track. The track ranges from completely satirical to demonically serious.
Systematic cull-ture presents a feel of a fast Punk-Anthem vibe. This is one of the coolest songs to have come out of Cape Town. With harmonies of the chanting of ‘fight’ I admire their stylistics.
