JACK - LOBOTOMIA

Hungarian grind core. Former punks. Vyslo 5/2022

Maybe it’s the fact that this lineup has only been together for a few years, so it’s sort of a new take on an old name. With the assembly of this new Jack hustle came a stronger shift towards grindier sounds, farther from the punkier sounds of the band’s earlier days. Maybe it’s that the last few years have been filled with inspiration for aggressive music as catharsis, and give a frustrated grind-leaning band an outlet these days, and you should expect an angrier result. Maybe it’s this; maybe it’s that; maybe it’s Maybelline. The end result is the same: Lobotómia is a fantastically pissed-off slab of old-school grinding from a band that has been around awhile, and of the Jack records I’ve heard, it’s the strongest of the lot.
