4 songs of Portland D-Beat. Sometimes I get a craving for Taco Bell. Not Mexican food, but Taco Bell. D-Beat is the same. Give it to me executed exactly to the winning formula. Discharge and Motorhead as the main ingredients. Don't get to slick or original. Black Breath deliver. 4 songs in 15 minutes or so. Totally raging. Perfect interval music. Peg the heartrate for the length of the jam.
Portland has always been a "metal-punk" town in my mind. Poison Idea, Accused,and on and on. Everything had a metal edge or look to it. Portland always reminds me of this. Black Breath keep that tradition alive. The label is name checking the right bands, but then going a little too far with the Celtic Frost/Bathory allusions.The mighty Repulsion from whom they jacked their name are an better comparison. Stick to the formula. Shredding D-beat that will have you coming back for more.
They self released this on vinyl and southernlord has the cd. Full length on the way.

This is awesome.
From the name I would have assumed they were some worthless stoner puke like Iron Monkey.
Just d'l'd it on emusic. Royalties headed their way.

Hipped my brother to them. He liked it too. Puzzled by the name, I explained it came from Repulsion.
Weird full circle, he said someone told him that one of Repulsion's cds had an unlisted track that was an acoustic version of Born Against, Half Mast.
