Reflex Records released this EP from Minneapolis, MN group Final Conflict, not to be confused with the well known crossover group from California. Reflex was known for putting out early releases from several well known bands from the area, including Husker Du and Articles of Faith, yet this incredible release from Final Conflict seems to have flown under the radar despite recent reissues from Havoc Records. This is blistering, paranoid hardcore punk in the vein of Jerry's Kids and Void, and Final Conflict approaches almost a Siege level of intensity. The drums are furious on top of the chainsawing guitars, and the vocals are really standout here; the singer sounds genuinely desperate and provides some bleak portraits of depression and anxiety.
