Chasm Demo 2025 cassette

DISCHARGE-drenched D-beat aficionados CHASM come tearing onto the scene out of Seoul, Korea with this four-track ripper. CHASM is set apart from the general D-beat milieu due in part to the vocal delivery, which is very much of the studded leather-gauntlet-covered fist in the air type. From the opening squeal of feedback to the final drumbeat drop, this demo is brimming with noisy D-beat which never strays from the band presenting their brand, so sans any superfluous sounds, you get just straightforward CHASM. This short sampling is absolutely worth a quick listen, but leaves me hungry and wanting for more.
