The German area around Bielefeld seems to be quite fruitful for acts providing the rhythmically Powernoise formula, also the duo of PUNCH INC. can be counted besides SYNAPSCAPE and their uncountable side-projects into this. After some years recording for Hands Productions, PUNCH INC. have exchanged the flags and hired to Ant-Zen – at least the decision pro the market leader. And as the second hidden title of this album announces it, "206 Bones To Break", PUNCH INC. do their best to provide a top-notch harsh album filled with straight and crunchy beats and rotten effects. They don’t take any prisoners and execute the dancefloors with the speedy pieces like "Roughneck", "Arm Against" or "Fight Your Enemy". Rather mid-tempo pieces like "The Daily Round" or "Rumble" can impress through the use strange voice samples, rotating percussive penetrations and its menacing mood. Some might say, PUNCH INC. provide the state-of-art for this genre and this release is quite typical for Ant-Zen. Indeed, since the whole world awaits a new studio album of CONVERTER, the title track is that sort of a masterpiece which could come out of the rotten world of Mr. Sturgis. The invitation into this "Fightclub" is quite unfriendly and broken bones and bleeding noses are guaranteed. There’s PUNCH incorporated on this album which is a safe purchase, if you can offer only a glimpse of sense for this genre. Also check out another excellent graphic idea by S.ALT. Good stuff!
