FOUR HORSEMYN’s Album “Persistence of Pestilence” Is A Stubborn Menace To Music And Sanity

Genre: punk.

Location: Chicago, IL-USA

Ladies and gentlemen, gather ’round and brace yourselves, for we have a musical atrocity on our hands. It’s time to dive into the cesspool of auditory affliction known as Four Horsemyn’s ‘Persistence of Pestilence’. This Chicago-based classic hardcore punk band claims to be channeling the spirits of punk legends like Sick of It All, The Exploited, and Agnostic Front. But in reality, they’ve managed to bring punk to new depths of degradation, leaving listeners questioning their life choices and their faith in the very concept of music.

Let’s start with the aptly titled track “Bloodsick”. Now, if by “bloodsick” they mean the sensation of your ears hemorrhaging upon contact with their music, then they’ve hit the nail on the head. This song is like a sonic assault of nails on a chalkboard, with vocals that sound like they were recorded inside a garbage disposal. It’s as if the band members took a crash course in how to create cacophony and emerged with honors in auditory assault.

Next up, we have “Bang Bang”, a track that should come with a warning label: “May induce immediate regret and urge to punch walls.” If this is their attempt at creating a sonic explosion, then they’ve succeeded in the sense that it’s causing an explosion of disbelief and disappointment among anyone unlucky enough to have stumbled upon it. It’s not just noise; it’s a declaration of war on good taste and musical sensibility.

But wait, there’s more – “Cloud of Bombs” enters the scene like a tornado of musical malfunction. The only cloud this song creates is a looming cloud of regret over anyone who dared to listen. If the goal was to sound like an angry swarm of bees trapped in a blender, then mission accomplished. This track is a masterclass in how to make every instrument clash in an unholy symphony of sonic suffering.

And then we have the masterpiece titled “I’m Sick You’re Sick”, which serves as an apt representation of how the band perceives their audience’s reaction to their music. The lyrics might as well be “I’m deaf, you’re deaf” because after enduring this album, any semblance of hearing is a distant memory. If they were aiming to create a musical experience that makes you question your life choices, well, congratulations are in order.

There are like a dozen other songs or something on this album, hell if I’m going into them all. I’m sure you get the picture by now.

In a world where music is often a source of comfort and joy, Four Horsemyn’s ‘Persistence of Pestilence’ stands as a defiant middle finger to such concepts. This album is an exercise in sonic sadism, a painful reminder that even the most resilient eardrums have their limits. It’s a symphony of suffering, a cacophony of chaos, and an affirmation that even the most persistent pestilence can’t hold a candle to the sheer misery this band has unleashed upon the world.

So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Four Horsemyn’s ‘Persistence of Pestilence’ is a testament to how far music can devolve when a band forsakes all musical integrity in pursuit of auditory abomination. This album is not just a collection of songs; it’s a declaration of war on your sanity. So prepare yourselves, for once you’ve subjected your ears to this calamity, there’s no turning back – the scars of sonic suffering will linger long after the last note fades into the abyss.

In conclusion, Four Horsemyn’s ‘Persistence of Pestilence’ is a blistering reminder that not all bands are created equal. Some are destined to blaze trails of musical destruction, leaving behind nothing but a trail of shattered eardrums and shattered dreams. May your ears find solace in the silence that follows, as they recover from the unrelenting onslaught of auditory agony.

’Persistence of Pestilence’ is Four Horsemyn’s third and newest album. Find it where ever you stream music from, these guys are everywhere-like a plague.
