Report Cards // Dystopiate – Infiltrator + Filth Film (Pt. 1)

Anyone wants in the mood for some vicious d-beat/crust with hints of black metal? If so, IHN got you covered…talking about Dystopiate from Boston!

Dystopiate is a solo project of Cody Maillet from Boston that also doubles as a live act. Here’s a little live clip taken by yours truly

The word “fierce” doesn’t even begin to describe Dystopiate both live and on record. Same applies to Cody’s now dormant project Cryostasium. But I digress…lets what others have to say about his work/releases that we put out!

Infiltrator

A short, sharp shock of noise. Lovely stuff – Russ Cox

This is amazing. Full on, Kool-aid man bursting through the wall level of intensity. Fantastic single and super amped to hear what they have in the future. Favorite track: Medihaze – acaDamien

Zero fucks given, zero prisoners taken. What’s not to love? – Nic Brown

Right out of the gate, this is in your face, and brutal. These 3 tracks get harsher from one to the next, and are incredible. Favorite track: Infiltrator – henrikmodular

Filth Film

D-beat bullet train blitzing through the smouldering shitegeist landscape. Snowpiercer sans protagonist, until a reflected window glimpse reveals it is all of us at once – Ryan Wesener

US Crust / Black Metal / Industrial Punk. Agree with all the praise here & Nic Brown put it best with “murderously good”… 😀 The titles are very intriguing & I would love to have some lyrics please… 🙂 This is definitely a modern take on the entire Punk genre! Recommended! Favorite track: Atrophy – bmurator

Searing, relentless blackened crusty d-beat with a noise rock influence. Lots of interesting and off-kilter ideas happening in the guitars (love the weird arpeggios), rhythm section like a runaway train, vocalist who sounds like he’s screaming to be heard, excellently raw production with a well balanced mix. why even hesitate? Favorite track: You’re Next – Gaffne Rostow

Raw as hell and constantly going off the rails. Solid rager. Favorite track: Fulcrum – Eric Lay

This is a modern black metal classic. This is pure mayhem. Congratulations, U made it. Favorite track: Burn – D3la.HOZ

Less an album, more a punishment beating. Murderously good – Nic Brown


Plus some nice features on Dystopiate courtesy of No Echo and Idioteq! Last, but not least – trailer for Filth Film (NSFW)
