Industrial Puke are a no-nonsense hardcore group that go straight for the throat in their first full length. Born Into The Twisting Rope (Suicide Records) features ten skull-stopping tunes and clocks in at a little over twenty-five minutes. Industrial Puke seems to have done their hardcore homework developing some fast and brutal boot stomping. Think Agnostic Front with just a little crust punk seasoning for that added punch.

The first four tracks are from Industrial Puke’s debut EP, Where Life Crisis Starts. It’s a nice inclusion if you missed out on the first go around. Each track comes at with a frenzy like blast to the forehead. The death metal and grindcore influence can be felt in the savage arrangements while the vocals have a much more traditional hardcore influence. 

‘Necrosexist Motherfucker’ is one track that stands tall above all of the rest. It has a much more crust punk feel than the rest of the album and even has some of the band slowing down for a moment in the beginning of the track. The dual vocals really amp this song up with some much needed extreme shrieks and screams.

For fans of hardcore, Industrial Puke delivers the goods. Plenty of angry beat down tunes that delivered with rapid fired accuracy. The band adds in enough hooks and groves to keep the music more accessible leaving the pure noise that many ‘core bands often do. Casual fans may find themselves looking for more on this release. 

While Industrial Puke does a great job with their classic hardcore approach, they aren’t really offering anything new. That’s not meant as a jab, as the old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!” (Industrial Puke is not responsible for any furniture that may be damaged or destroyed while listening to this album) Born Into The Twisting Rope is still a satisfying listen that is sure to amp up even the most jaded of listeners.
