The hell?! The rest of us need to be as productive and effective in writing music as these dudes in Malaysian beatdown band Stainless! The band formed last year and only MONTHS after forming were able to release this 7-track EP FULL of heavy-hitting mosh-tactic riffing madness. When asked how this was possible, the band’s humility came shining through, “Oh – the record is full of so many flaws!” What. Every track is a goddamn monster.
Anyway…as mentioned above, the band only formed last year as a 4 piece band highly influenced by H8000 acts such as Reprisal, Prayer For Cleansing, Seventh Star (USA), Pay No Respect (UK), and some militant straight edge bands on Seventh Dagger Records. “Our intent was to sound like these bands but our music has turned out to sound more like bands like Sworn Enemy, Hoods, Biohazard, Enemy Ground from the US, and some mid-00s German and British beatdown bands. Also, while we’re talking about influences, we wouldn’t be here today pumped with rage if it wasn’t for our big brothers in Malaysian band Restraint.”
The EP, the band states, touches on some pretty crazy sci-fi themes as well as the movie Matrix. “Also, I’m super keen on the Playstation 2 style of CD artwork as you can see with our cover”.
Alright – see if you can find any flaws on the 7 tracks of heaviness below. We can’t find any.
