Arm the Insane

Arm the Insane Remember LP

As with their previous release, this one has some really excellent lyrics, but again fails to rise above the early 80’s UK plodpunk sound. Not that it doesn’t have power or guts, but if current bands are gonna play older styles, they should really present them with an approach that makes them sound fresh and exciting. Decent.

Arm the Insane Virus EP

Fairly decent thrash, though a bit herky jerky at times. It’s tight, but the construction and lack of tunefulness make it seem fairly generic. One tune, though, “Self Destruct,” does stand out in its forcefulness.
