Ripping LP from this band out of Hudiksvall, Sweden.
Our take: Usman and Jeff both chose this Gefyr record as their staff pick last week, and given their expertise, there isn’t much I can add to the conversation. As Jeff and Usman, Gefyr hails from the same Swedish town as Totalitär and has snatched more than a couple of tricks from that band’s well-thumbed playbook. There are a lot of bands out there who walk in Totalitär’s footsteps, but (again, as Usman said), Gefyr’s capability with a range of different d-beat grooves really sets them off from the pack. They can go to ripping fast Shitlickers-inspired shit to a groovier, driving d-beat to an almost rocked-out part, which keeps my ears perked up for the duration of this LP. Throughout the turbulence, the riffing stays dense and inventive and the vocals venomous. If you consider yourself a Swedish hardcore head, you’ll want to check out this record.
