LAWFUL KILLING - The First Division

Location: London, UK
Release: Self-Released, 2022
Artwork: Jack Hamilton 

Sorry for the lack of new content folks, I got sidetracked by personal issues but these dudes put me back on track, LAWFUL KILLING and their debut full-length on... no label whatsover? That was weird, I would sign them on a heart beat. (In fact, that has always been a dream of mine, to start a label).

Judging by the art cover it's clear their love for late 80's Crossover, even if you're not familiar with their sound if this art doesn't appeal to you (a possible fan of the genre) I don't know what would, they nailed 100%.

Soundwise, in The First Division you get what has been expected, riffs galore, well-composed melodies, real punk lyrics (no occultist bullshit) and lots of speed, you go through tracks 1 to 5 in one single slab! The record also features 3 re-recorded songs from previous singles and it got mixed by Scott from Blind Authority
