Kill The Con Man – Operation Just Cause
Operation Just Cause bangs hard by going straight for the jugular and never letting go.

Though each band clearly has their own style, the whole is as cohesive as it is crushing, exquisite as it is eviscerating.
Music is often somewhat visual for me, but rarely is it as viscerally visual as this album.
The EP has the ominous intent of black metal, the thick swampiness of dissonant death metal, and the feral abrasion of grindcore.
There is nothing soft about either track, though there is plenty of skill displayed in the mauling they give us.
The album is sometimes spastic, and rarely sits still long, even in the slower parts. And yet it all flows so well together.
I can count on any Sentient Ruin release to be well crafted, challenging in some way, and aesthetically interesting.
Like all good grindcore, listening to Interstice is an abrasive journey, like sliding down a sandpaper waterslide.
The track starts out with belligerence, as Void’s bellows hit the listener square in the chest, and then devolves and evolves into a racing, grinding, destructive cacophony of purpose.
