Another Bad Year

VOMITFACE's latest offering, "Another Bad Year," is a cacophonous whirlwind of distorted guitars and erratic drumming that perfectly encapsulates the chaos of the current dumpster fire that is 2021. From the first screeching notes of the opening track, "Rage Quit," it's clear that this band has a lot of pent-up frustration to unleash. The album continues to assault the senses with tracks like "Wasted Youth" and "Toxic Relationship," where singer Jared Artaud's manic vocals add an extra layer of intensity to the already frenetic instrumentation. The band's DIY ethos is evident throughout, with sludgy production and lo-fi recording techniques giving the album a raw, gritty edge. Despite the bleak subject matter of songs like "Burnout" and "Broken Dreams," there's a sense of catharsis present in the music that is undeniably infectious. VOMITFACE manages to find a twisted kind of joy in embracing the chaos, creating a sound that is equal parts exhilarating and terrifying. "Another Bad Year" may not be for the faint of heart, but for those willing to embrace the madness, it's a thrilling ride that captures the spirit of our tumultuous times with unapologetic fervour. Ultimately, VOMITFACE proves that sometimes you have to embrace the chaos to find beauty in the madness.
