Thumbsucker and Atomçk come from the UK underground, operating far
from trends and comfort zones. Thumbsucker work
within raw hardcore punk, short, hostile, and confrontational. Atomçk represent grindcore at its most abrasive,
active for many years and shaped by a long stretch of silence before returning
with renewed hostility. This split brings together two bands with a shared
appetite for confrontation and refusal to soften their message.
The split arrives as a
blunt response to social rot, moral collapse, and everyday hypocrisy. The
writing focuses on anger that is pointed outward, not abstract or decorative. Thumbsucker open the release with a sequence of
short, violent statements built around social disgust, personal rage, and
public apathy. The pacing stays aggressive and compressed, keeping pressure
high without drifting into excess. The material sounds urgent and uncomfortable,
rooted in hardcore tradition without drifting into nostalgia or polish.
Atomçk take over with a harsher and more chaotic presence.
Their material leans into hostility and confrontation, built around relentless
speed and abrasive vocal delivery. Lyrical themes attack urban decay, political
emptiness, and cultural stagnation. The songs hit fast and disappear just as
quickly, leaving little space for reflection. Atomçk
sound angrier and more feral than before, channeling years of
frustration into short explosions of noise and intent.
As a full release,
this split works as a unified outburst rather than two disconnected halves. Thumbsucker and Atomçk
share a similar worldview, and the transition between the two sides
feels natural in spirit, even as the approaches differ. The release does not
chase variety or accessibility, it exists to confront and provoke. For
listeners drawn to extreme underground music rooted in anger and refusal, this
split delivers a clear and uncompromising statement.
