Burning Flag - Matador CDs
Info
Burning Flag hail from the Halifax / Calderdale area. They describe themselves thusly: Spewed forth from the blackened mill towns of Northern England, Burning Flag are a venomous twisted sludge of scathing Punk noise, 90s Hardcore and Industrial Riff..
Thematically speaking, this is politically charged. Issues discussed here include but aren’t limited to marginalisation, gender inequality, identity politics, abolishing organised religion, class warfare, smashing the far right, and wanting to luzz Boris Johnson and his posh mates into the maw of an active volcano. All of this is of course entirely admirable.
We have influences from D-beat heavyweights like Tragedy, From Ashes Rise and Kylesa mixing it up with feminist crust influences like Nausea and F-Minus. There’s also a bit of a proto-nu metal kind of thing in there somewhere too, which reminds me of the more together moments from Senser’s Stacked Up album.
