Gain Optimal Death Die Underground [LP]

Over - Gain Optimal Death Die Underground [LP]

Die Young, Die Broke. A new mantra for the most depraved connoisseurs of psychedelic punk. For fans of Mainliner, Brainbombs, Les Rallizes Denudes, Stooges, Motorhead, MC5. A critique and embrace of self-destruction, esoteric vanity and inevitable ruin. The molten-red LP on Riot Season Records plunges deep into an abuse of distortion, existential doom and primal Stooges-like chaos. LA's acid punk power trio returns to its line up, now wielding a second addition in twin-drum assault. Jasso (guitar/vocals) is seemingly out for blood on this four-track studio album, leading a violent dive into the abyss. Japanese underground fury meets Hendrix's wreckage, fuzz-drenched wah freak-outs compete against raw punk vocals caught in an endless slap back delay. Over-Gain Optimal Death are an acid punk power trio formed in 2008 hailing from Los Angeles, and now currently hiding out somewhere in the South of France. Fronted by guitarist/ vocalist Jasso (Psychedelic Speed Freaks, Antarcticans), they push a special niche product of blown-out extreme psychedelic noise rock. Their sound is enveloped in a total nihilist ''No Hope'' atmosphere of heavy lyrics and distortion, mating intoxicating pulsing repetition, hyperactive improvisations and out of body guitar solos. Resurrecting US '60s punk and acid-riffage from the likes of Blue Cheer, the Stooges, MC5 and live Hendrix Experience, Over-Gain Optimal Death also draws greatly on the in-the-red sound aesthetic and high energy of the ''Speed Freak Underground'' and hardcore scene of '80s/'90s Japan. Limited to 300 on molten red vinyl. Housed in matt finished outer sleeve with double sided insert, download code and hype sticker. A1. Die Underground (5:49) A2. No Lord (10:28) B1.
