Hit for Six, Brit punks
Consumed deliver a searing swarm of hardcore guitars and drums. A few of the songs have tender, lovey-dovey vocals, but it is hard to tell because you are being jack-hammered into the ground by the quartet's sonic attack. All is not peace and love, though. For every "Sunnyside Up" -- a song that expresses the best in punk love -- there is the biting violence of "Black and Blue," which is about a guy getting his face flattened with a shovel.
Consumed keep the variety coming throughout the album, with the one consistent element being the explosive metal-tinged punk that never stops. ~ Stacia Proefrock
