ENZYME - "GOLDEN DYSTOPIAN AGE" LP

LULUS: It's 'Zyme Tyme for the Dystopian Age. Enzyme went weird and we're here for it. More dance, more anarcho, more snap, more crackle, more pogo, punk! The mix on this thing is underground bunkers/absolutely bonkers - just a pure bubbly fizz. If you threw some Gai and Confuse records into a laboratory with a truly mad scientist, added in a splash of hydrochloric NYHC and some powdered gabber then this might just be the result - and we cannot confirm that Honest Stu hasn't been hiding a second head under that leather jacket these last few months so this theory is yet to be disproven. Golden Dystopian Age is essentially a soundtrack to goin' spare and stark ravin' mad in the end of an age. Aside from a bloke named George who wrote a book about the year Victim In Pain was released, who knows what will be ushered in next? Enzyme may or may not give a shit, but either way they aren't saying no to a good old fashioned demolition party. An enzyme is defined as; a substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction. It's all making sense now. Lulus highly recommends this album and seeing these songs live when you next get the chance. LVEUM & HARDCORE VICCTIM: Hey knuckle draggers and chain swingers! Looking to add some dynamite to your pogo stick? Look no further!! Enzyme’s Golden Dystopian Age LP is here! 4 years since Howling Minds LP, Enzyme’s 2nd offering bends all odds and pushes the band’s brand of noise punk to a new limit. Lots to process about this record, from the hyperactive drumming, catchy rhythm backbone by the bass, 1000 pedal stomp buzz saw noise/psychedelic sound scapes guitars, discordant terminator vocals that sound like they been recorded through a cheap boom box, cameo vocals from Hardcore Victim CEO / Phantasm vox Bernie, to the more noise / beats provided by hard techno unit NERVE AKA Joshua Wells makes for one perfect storm that these noise bent fuckers have managed to harness. 3 years to make, this record sounds and reads like a reflection of life living through the tightly sanctioned lockdowns, a state of uncertainty, helplessness, anxiety and fear, geographical and imposed isolation, natural disasters and civil unrest in Naarm (Melbourne) Australia. 8 relentless noise punk tracks for the new hell we live in. Golden Dystopian Age showcases Enzyme’s never ending one sided romance with punk legends Confuse, Chaos U.K, Disorder but also exploring other influences like Anarcho punk, space rock, psychedelic rock, Metal and Gabber, Blasphemy! Is this punk future? It’s as ugly as the world Enzyme sees. It’s the Golden Dystopian Age.
