BAND OF THE DAY: VILE INTENT

Pop the mouthguard in and prepare to gnash your teeth like it's your first anal encounter, Montreal's Vile Intent are their moniker made sonic - feedback-driven, epileptic powerviolence, thrashing like an a head wound out of the haunted forest of menacing Infest-style chug.

Classic, first wave PV influences and youthful fury incarnate, Vile Intent formed in 2008 and describe themselves as "Screwdriver in the urethra of Montreal hardcore". Their first non-tape, 2010's 'Shadow of the Skull' 7" (on Choking Hazard) is an portrait of real evil in just over ten minutes, like waking up, hungover and clutching your own limp member amid the family you killed - which bodes well for their new 7", 'Regression to the Mean', which is up for pre-order here.
