The obvious clue to Berlin band Terminal Filth’s area of expertise is in their Deviated Instinct-referencing moniker. Unsurprisingly, Terminal Filth’s barrelling full-length debut, Death Driven, also referenced the enduring influence of groups like Antisect, Axegrinder, and Extinction Of Mankind. Terminal Filth’s anvil-heavy crust oozed apocalyptic doom as reeking and hulking dirges mixed with more sharply pointed attacks. Death Driven provided the best of both worlds; the primordial darkness of old and modern-day crust war rage. Perfect for fresh-faced and ancient crusties to sink their rotten teeth into. Crashing cymbals, guttural and nearly blackened-style vocals, gnarly hardcore breakdowns, and impossibly swift rhythm shifts make TERMINAL FILTH the current masters of international-style hardcore/stenchcore.
