press release - Murder License



Following up the widespread acclaim of their recent album, Xinlisupreme return with a seven-track mini-album of blistering pace and vicious, devastating power.

A vital / viral blast of corRósive, red raw, bleeding black heart guts and mess and pure fucking energy scrawl, that's part nihilism and part holding up a cracked mirror to a fucked and collapsing insane world, the EP is titled 'Murder License' and its cover art features an American flag chopped up on a background of smeared blood. If anything, 'Murder License' is an increasingly focused and coherent release than before. Rhythms are weightier and more up-front. Every track is intensely driven, the whole bursting out at the listener with barely a pause between eruptions. Xinlisupreme may evoke or draw on earlier influences (MBV, J&MC, Merzbow, Suicide, Pere Ubu) yet there's an honesty and undoubted individuality that sets the band poles apart from the vast majority of their peers - a scorched earth acceleration that exposes the current vogue of retro-fit punk for the vacuous fashion preening it is. Xinlisupreme are the real fucking deal, from the heart and guts. There's no question of being trapped in the weight of another's shadow. This is desperate, intensely driven music, clawing out for something, brutally focused, engorged with fear and loathing. In a mostly dreary music industry landscape that's dominated by either escapist confections or fashion posturing, they are one of too few artists attempting to stir up some kind of response, to issue any kinddd of wake-up call.
