Galway Based Hardcore Punk/Metal fusion Quartet Psychotic Outsider offer a Filthy,Abrasive Lo-Fi Social/Polictical anthems with their latest EP End Of The Line, the band have been cutting their trade since 2018, thus far the band have released an EP and one full length album.
Following on from 2020's Psyching Out Mentality the band have a new Vocalist in Luke Holbrook,which seems to have improved their overall sound,giving them a more abrasive and aggressive edge, straight from the onset title track End of The Line opens up with a rhytmic and extremely aggressive pace with a real middle finger vocal style, Infernal Battle continues the same pace and style ,there's also a underlying filthy groove prevelent throughout the song, the pace is slowed down a little with the excellent Locked Up the aggression and heaviness still remain,at times the track has a filthy sludge element which adds a somewhat despaired atmosphere to proceedings.
The addition of two demo tracks which were on their previous release Psyching Out Mentality was a great idea giving the listener a chance to hear the improvement their new vocalist has added to their sound, Ragnarok is a great mid paced track full of vitriol and the trademark aggression associated with the band. Hunter picks up the pace again and is a fitting way to close out the EP.
Psychotic Outsider create a very simplistic yet extremely effective style full of vitriol, filthiness and and an angry attitude which make for an interesting listen,there's no frills attached to the band just in your face aggression and anarcho punk tendencies, this is a great listen for anyone that likes a DIY ethos full of passion,vitriol and attitude.
