NAILS - Obscene Humanity 12"

Currently I'm listening a lot to the Obscene Humanity 12" by Nails from the US.
It felt as if a bomb fell unto this part of the Mosh Eisley headquarter when I first listened to it.
The songs themselves can be found on some other blogs but I really felt the urge to write about them because they massivly struck a nerve here.

Some ex members of Carry On and Terror stear up 7 songs of mostly fast,passionate and fucked up sounding music which slightly avoids the "jock-core/tough-guy" category considering the bands they already played in.

What I like about this band and surprised me is that they don't seem to be interested in getting big or getting somewhere.These 3 guys just let go of all their frustrations and disgust for the ills of society which appels to me on a lot of levels:

No infos about the members beside their names,no myspace site or homepage,just a messed up handwritten lyricsheet,only a few played shows,no fotos and some honest to the point lyrics with which I can identify a lot.The way most of the them are are written remind me a bit of Discharge.They are short and to the point getting the message across as precise as possible.
"Confront them" is my favorite track because of it's direct approach:

Jealous cowards want to see us fail
Don't ever let them see you fail
They'll fight their wars based on lies
Shit on them and their plastic lives
Don't ever let them take what's yours


The overall motto of this 12" seems to be "get in,release anger and get out."
I really like the production because it's heavy as a sledgehammer but at the same time too noisy and ugly to get the attention of a wider audience.This point is proven by a remark on the cool Aversion Online blog.Great!!!
Don't get me wrong,the music is definetly tough as nails,massive and slightly metallic so it could appeal to the jocks in the pit but beside the production the feeling of the lyrics is much too desperate and introverted (a.k.a. "uncool") to be the background music for being an asshole on the dancefloor.At least I hope so...

I added the lyrics to the lyric bit on the right of the page because they're that important to me.Get your copy from these recources as some suggestions:

Six Feet Under Records
Revelation Records
Deathwish Records
Per Koro Records
Sentient Distribution
