Balta
Rendszerszintu Agybaszas
It takes Balta seven minutes to annihilate 'Rendszerszintü Agybaszás' (Systematic Brainfucking), the debut EP by these feral Hungarians. Their approach to music is beyond urgent and their delivery equally drastic. Balta's sound is vicious, pounding and hectic. With one of the nastiest guitar tones to grace these ears in recent memory, and a drumming style that may collapse at any giving moment. Drawing parallels with Piñen, Ulster, the first Tranquilizer flexi, Plasmid or Imagen is fair, giving the total disregard for melody or time the band displays. But it is their anti-authoritarian lyrics and uber punk attitude that sets them on their own path; Searching for a primitive future amongst the concrete ruins.
