Ohyda: S/T 12"
Debut release from Lublin’s OHYDA. Distorted dark hardcore which channels the spirit of the classic Polish hardcore punk of DEZERTER or TRAGIEDIA (who they cover on the B side), mixes it with modern Barcelona bands ala DESTINO FINAL and incorporates quasi industrial beats a la CRESS with a hint of psychedelia creating a hybrid that is a monster on its own. Seven tracks in nearly 16 filled minutes which keeps us hoping for more soon.
The record comes in a 350 gsm reverse board sleeve designed by Szymon Siech with a 12 page A6 lyric booklet and a download code.
Our take: Debut vinyl from this band out of the Eastern Polish city of Lublin... while there are numerous Polish bands from the late 80s and early 90s that I love, I feel like we don't hear much from that part of the world in the current DIY hardcore scene. Well, Ohyda are obviously changing that, and since this 12" is released by La Vida Es Un Mus you're pretty much already guaranteed that it's good. While I'm not super familiar with this style, the combination of heavy guitars, a focus on interesting, tom-heavy rhythms and a subtle psychedelic flavor (like that weird flange effect that's often on the guitars) remind me of Amebix at their peak... I suppose you could also sub their name for any number of other hardcore bands that were heavily influenced by Killing Joke, like say Tragedy's later stuff. The vocals here are also really strong... something about the Polish language is just perfect for hardcore punk, and Ohyda only serve to further cement that opinion in me. I'd also say that if you're into the slightly artsy, noisy d-beat vibe of bands like Destino Final this will be right up your alley.
