Achterlicht Demo III cassette
While the cassette would have one believing this is self-titled, the internet seems to refer to this solely as Dmo III. This is the third demo from the Netherlands-based wacky, revved-up synth punks ACHTERLICHT. Five songs of high-intensity, energetic punk with spooky Halloween synth parts often following the riffs note-for-note. All songs feel like they are absolutely racing to their end as fast as they possibly can. ACHTERLICHT rips, it’s as simple as that. I saw this tape referred to on the band’s Bandcamp as the “last EP of Haarlem punk band ACHTERLICHT,” and I truly hope it meant the most recent EP, not final. It would be an absolute shame if ACHTERLICHT has come to an end right as I’m becoming aware of their existence. Tape released in the States on Knuckles on Stun, meaning there’s a limited run of 25 copies, so act fast, you won’t be disappointed.
