Jackal - Self Titled 7”




    Pure savage hardcore punk aggression is what Jackal delivers on their self-titled 7” EP. The Florida based band brings some rancorous sounding riffs to the table and makes a short yet extremely effective statement on this new release.

    The band’s sound reminds me of classic 80’s hardcore punk, while conveying a confident and raw attitude that transcends beyond simple hardcore worship. There is a sense of fearless musical creativity which is simply uncompromising until the very end. The release starts out with a burst of merciless aggression and maintains a feverish presentation of gritty sounding hardcore.

    The EP may not be a lengthy release, however, the tracks that are featured on it definitely leave an impact. Kicking the album off is the track, “Jackal,” which is an all out assault of terrorizing riffs and pissed off sounding vocals. The next track, “Robbed Life,” starts out with some thunderous drumming and ignites a fuse of hard hitting musical insanity. Track number three, “Help Yourself,” does not allow you to take a breather, because the band continues to hammer out some furious sounding compositions. The final song, “Cornered,” concludes the chaotic hardcore onslaught with each musician doing a great job to build this wall of raw hardcore attitude which eventually comes crashing down once the song ends.

    If you were to ask me what people can take away from this release, I would say that listeners are given the opportunity know what Jackal is capable of creating and I think the band leaves quite an impression for such a short release. I definitely look forward to more music from Jackal and I really would like to catch them live. The band unleashes such raw attitude on each track, so seeing them live must be like getting thrown into a tornado of hardcore strong enough to rip your face off.

    Also check out the youtube channel “No Deal,” which has tons of great hardcore releases! Also, don’t forgot to check out Jackal’s bandcamp where you can buy the songs. Support the artist!
