Killtech - Meet the Friendly Natives (1994)


Was really hoping to get a good vinyl rip of Killtech's WW4 EP which came out in 1992 because that's just the way I'm used to hearing some of these songs played, but this is a great release too. Killtech took the skeleton of their songwriting from punk and built it up with some post punk and an almost industrial sound too. Songs have a good groove tempo and keep it on the slower side for the most part, but it never feels dull. The lyrics are excellent and very tongue in cheek,  my personal favorite song being "Pleasure Cannister" with the refrain of "there is such pleasure in shooting people" that echoes throughout from the perspective of a violence crazed lunatic. I feel like these guys wouldn't have been out of place being released on Alternative Tentacles.
