about

"That a person would name his or her band something like Atonal Death is always an opulent caution sign, the product of sulky fakers wallowing in pain-free angst or else the punch line of top-quality middle-class irony. Fortunately, with the Olympic/Duress seven-inch (Apoplexy) by the real Atonal Death (not the one on That '70s Show), neither hairlogs nor cassettes released by secondhand harlequin outfits come to mind. Instead, glorious patches of guitar mope get laid across howling scrunch. "Olympic" also boasts a skid mark density that spirals around eternal flames of falsetto mump."
