Shackles play chunky, crusty powerviolence with energetic flair and manic vocal displays dripping in palpable rabidity. Maunder re-animates the bloated, festering corpse of punk with the spastic electricity of grindcore and the meaty (yet vegan friendly!) deliverance of modern metal. Imagine Nails meets Repulsion, only on a limited 7", rather than 5000 copies on Relapse in a variety of fucking colours. Bleak, miserable and powerfully heavy stuff.
Maunder was the band's debut release, back in 2011, released in two pressings by Aussie label Arrest Records. It is quite lengthy for an EP of this style, clocking it around 13 minutes, but boasts enough variety to stay fresh and interesting throughout. Highly recommended listening!
