Austria and Vienna are better known for The Sound Of Music, Mozart, and cozy beauty than grim music. But Unsane’s Chris Spencer barely survived an act of violence there, Henry Rollins wrote about being impressed by the borderline assertiveness of the local punks, and when the Viennese Actionism group were up to mischief in the 1960s, it drove worldwide astonishment. There’s legendary fields of unpleasant deviance and transgression in Vienna, and that’s where DESOLAT stirs around.

Established in 2018, DESOLAT’s grimy noise rock is rooted in hardcore/punk and infused with elements of sludge, crust, and death metal created by three veterans of the Viennese DIY anarcho punk scene. The band’s beginning days were cut short by COVID-19 lockdowns after playing only three shows. Nevertheless, they have since managed to release two EPs and one LP, with album number two now on the way.

This time more noise rock and less death metal, DESOLAT’s crushing "Get Sick And Let Me Watch You Die" deploys eight ripping tracks with a riotous, relentless momentum, while lyrical undercurrents of political unrest, societal disgust, and a live fast/die young callousness shred their way through. The record’s artwork and title were inspired by Texas’ Brutal Juice and their 1995 Alternative Tentacles-released masterpiece, "I Love The Way They Scream When They Die".
For fans of Unsane, Neurosis, Entombed, Iron Monkey, Helmet, Discharge, Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth, and The Jesus Lizard. Get sick!
