Born To Destruct – Devasteight With Destruction

Devasteight With Destruction is Cambridgeshire rockers Born To Destruct‘s eighth release since they formed in 2007, over the years their line up has changed and evolved to the point where they are barely recognisable as the band that burst onto the scene in 2007. Unlike many bands who mellow and develop a more subtle approach as they get older, Born To Destruct appear to be getting noisier and rowdier with age.

Devasteight With Destruction  is the kind of brutal punk rock that was a precursor to the UK82 scene, this album carries the same kind of the kind of take no shit attitude that was exemplified by early releases from the likes of The Anti Nowhere League, and if you’re a fan of sweary disrespectful punk rock then you really should be investigating their bandcamp by now, as you will love this album. For me the relentless guttural snarl and pounding drums can become a repetitive, but if you want subtlety and introspection this is not the band for you.

Born To Destruct is snotty and visceral, this is raw and uncompromising no frills dirty punk rock that has a metaphorical middle finger raised. I can’t help feeling that they are a band whose brutal assault on the senses is one that should be experienced live, but whilst you’re waiting for them to arrive at a local venue Devasteight With Destruction will keep you happily annoying your neighbours until they arrive. This sounds like a band who appear to be growing old disgracefully, and they sound like they’re loving every minute of it
