Review
Opening with a Shane Gillis comedy sample before dropping into a breakdown that "sounds like dogs barking," Party Cannon’s Subjected To A Partying is built on a proud refusal to grow up. Critics widely embrace the Scottish five-piece as, in the words of Decibel, "the U.K.'s defenders of dumb," delivering a half-hour of cartoonish violence and "absolute silliness". This EP introduces new vocalist Daryl Boyce and explicitly breaks the band's aesthetic down to its core components—slam, goregrind, early 2000s brutal death metal, and New York death metal.
The first half pairs "dunderheaded" grooves and "whiplash riffing" with vocals that pivot from deep growls to wet "frog burps". Things get even weirder on the second half, which hands original tracks over for extreme electronic remixes, including a gabber-infused take on "Thirst Trap". For the initiated, it is a masterclass in low-IQ, high-impact fun designed for "extreme inflatable moshing".
