Gylt I Will Commit a Holy Crime cassette

Feral hardcore fire starters GYLT throw a hard punch to the nose with their newest EP I Will Commit Holy Crime. Hard to describe but very easy to listen to, GYLT is equal parts thrash and hardcore (but not in a D.R.I. kind of way). More like a way, way darker version of SACRILEGE and with an eerie atmosphere similar to RIGOROUS INSTITUTION, GYLT is very innovative and has a unique sound. Everything in this EP sounds dark and dirty, and a bit unsettling, with ferocious screams directing negativity towards everyone and everything. GYLT shoots to kill!

Gylt Shoved / Spiral cassette

GYLT is a four-piece crossover hardcore band from Los Angeles. This release is two feral style hardcore tracks that are over and done in as many minutes. Heavy drums with searing guitar lines and vicious vocals tearing through acerbic lyrics is the fast and dirty description. “Shoved” opens with a little taste of guitar, some quick grunts, and then proceeds to tear it up, while “Spiral” enters with a bit of chugging bass and hits the throttle even faster, and is completed in well under a minute. Too fast for breakdowns and sans any sort of posturing, GYLT might just be my new favorite hardcore band. This two song release definitely whets my appetite for more.
