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.

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.
