Void - Condensed Flesh EP

To sum up Void's “Condensed Flesh”, it can be described as the greatest seven minutes of crossover thrash you will ever listen to. Bubba Dupree starts off every track with a high-pitched whine from his guitar, and the band quickly joins and gets into it. Sean Finnegan, who died in January of 2008 from a heart attack, kept things moving at a frantic tempo with his quick, thunderous drumming behind Chris Stover's speedy basslines and Bubba Dupree's Black Flag-influenced guitar style, throwing in his signature guitar squeals throughout the record. This is only the beginning, as soon John Weiffenbach shouts his lyrics through the mic, pumping up the crowd into a bigger frenzy than just five seconds before. Just like fellow D.C. Hardcore scenemates Minor Threat, this recording has a very high quality, a rarity for bands recording on a small budget. This band not only created what is possibly one of the most underrated albums of the D.C. Scene, but also paved the way for bands like The Melvins, who continue to cross the boundaries by taking hardcore punk and injecting it with thrash metal influences like Barry Bonds with steroids.
