Album Review: Life Pilot - Too Hot For Killing

StarStarStarHalf Star

"'Too Hot For Killing' is gnarly, nasty, noisy and just plain good."

More Life Pilot Life Pilot Profile

This EP is six tracks and just 21 minutes of music, but these Radelaide boys pack as much punch and as many ideas into those 21 minutes as is humanly possible for a band of their ilk.

The overriding vibe of Too Hot For Killing is that of extreme, violent punk, hardcore and metal, with walls of frenetic sound coming at you in waves, but this is no one-dimensional noise album. There is real songwriting nous going on here, with subtle use of dynamics, a great example being the relatively slow-burning title track which provides some sweet light and shade amid the fury.

Too Hot For Killing is gnarly, nasty, noisy and just plain good.
