Nails - Abandon all Life

Review by Pieter J Macmillan

With Nails there is no compromise if you don’t like it then you can go fuck yourself.»

Nails, tyrants of the American underground, have triumphantly completed their second full-length Abandon All Life, on Southern Lord. Recorded at Godcity with Kurt Ballou (Converge) and mastered by Brad Boatright (From Ashes Rise), these ten tracks of barbaric rage have no resemblance to the laughable, retro party metal that passes as extreme music in today's world. Instead, Nails carpet bombs the listener with their horrifying brand of death/grind/hardcore chaos; flawlessly blending shades of Suffocation, early Nasum, and Celtic Frost with their own sadistic aggression. With profound hatred, the howling war cry of Abandon All Life shows Nails as a band without equal in their class.
