Basque degenerate nihilistic punk commando PURO ODIO get in league with Sentient Ruin to bring their hateful punk plague to North America for the first time ever. A meticulous reissue plan is underway and their 2019 two-song EP is already available for stream and pre-order on cassette tape via our shop and Bandcamp, officially releasing/shipping on July 10 2020. Their glorious 2018 debut demo is also planned for reissue on a limited edition etched 10” (details TBA), while new music will also surface from the band via yours truly next year.
Dubbed "La banda mas dura del planeta" by their inner circle and hailing from the Basque region in the north of Spain, Puro Odio are purveyors of a degenerate world that has lost its sanity and fallen to complete barbarism, anarchy, chaos and inhumanity, succumbing to a bleak new world order where any virtue or morality is crushed under the iron fist of hatred, violence and nihilism. A senseless exaltation of crime, terrorism and of mankind’s most repulsive side, their sophomore two-song EP originally self released on vinyl 7" in 2019 is a bastard punk ritual of absolute disgust and nihilism where the crudest and most antagonist history of early American hardcore punk, as well as the British old-school of anarcho-punk, Oi! and d-beat is hijacked to serve the complete suppression of virtue and foment the abject glorification of total darkness and negativity. Within its primordial and deranged stylistic framework you will hear the iconic sounds of American legends like Cruficix and Void, as well as of British bastions of filthy punk like Broken Bones, English Dogs, GBH, Discharge, and Conflict all collide with the darkest and most unnameable horrors of reality - subtlety channeled by the ancestral malevolence heard in early punk black metal entities like GISM, Von and Hellhammer. The ensuing style and overall sound is thus describable as the sonic idealization of a reign of terror, with hateful blackened vocals barking atrocities and primitive pummeling d-beat drumming driving a demented and derailing meat grinder of abrasive guitars to shape a raw and repulsive hardcore punk dystopia vomited from the slums and gutters of hell, soaked in darkness, blood, and cruelty. A degenerate crossway of sorts between the abjection and primitivism of hardcore punk bands like Gag and Glue, and the malefic misanthropy of blackened punk bands like Bone Awl, Ritual Knife, and Grinning Death's Head.
With the two individuals masked and anonymous, Puro Odio officially debuted in 2018 with a self-titled six-song demo tape with striking visuals that immediately introduced them as an accomplished and fully-defined audio-visual aberration entirely their own, shaped by an aesthetic coming from BDSM, crime, modern art, perverted fiction, and the wretched insurrectionism of early American hardcore, British anarcho/d-beat filth, and the malefic abnegation of early raw and punky black metal. A year later in 2019 an equally deranged self-released self-titled two-song 7" appeared (now reissued on tape by Sentient Ruin), while the original demo received a vinyl release in early 2020 via Spanish Oi! Punk label Mendeku Diskak and will be reissued on a different vinyl format and with different artwork also by Sentient Ruin in North America). Stay tuned for more coming from Puro Odio and Sentient Ruin soon!
