Their second EP,<em> &#8216;Have Me To Waste<\/em>&#8216;, ticks all the right boxes as it puts <strong>STS<\/strong> alongside the likes of God Complex, Lotus Eater and Loathe, who coincidentally they have a connection with as\u00a0guitarist Connor Sweeney serves as the EP&#8217;s producer.\u00a0Although it puts them in the same bracket, <em>&#8216;Have Me To Waste&#8217;<\/em> doesn&#8217;t quite capture the same excitement. Nevertheless, the Newcastle collective do serve up six concise slabs of blackened hardcore.<\/p>\n<p>From the offset,<em> &#8216;Resolute&#8217;<\/em> shows there is a thumping intensity to their sound with the occasional hint of ambience. This is expanded on &#8216;Dismal&#8217;, as it charges in with a throbbing bass groove and chugging guitars as guttural vocals and haunting synth keys gives the track a claustrophobic vibe. However, it doesn&#8217;t deliver a big pay off, opting for an outro of scrappy guitars. Thankfully, <em>&#8216;Back &amp; Forth&#8217;<\/em> soon makes up for it, kicking in with monstrous guitars and roaring vocals. While the mid-point tech metal chug is welcomed hint of variation.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Starve to Survive - Tremor (OFFICIAL AUDIO)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qiI5QZg-g0w?list=PLtFe5bggAedl78cDispQdP6Jac-rnj3N8\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, they stylistically don&#8217;t stray too far away. Notwithstanding,<em> &#8216;Twinge&#8217;<\/em> is a stomping, chaotic highlight that shows <strong>Starve To Survive<\/strong>&#8216;s ability to execute dirty metallic hardcore at its best, even if the glitching electronics are reminiscent\u00a0of Code Orange.<em> &#8216;Dread&#8217;<\/em> carries on the momentum, providing a turbulent cocktail of everything that has come before it.\u00a0It&#8217;s all rounded off by the title track. Pulsating with a smattering\u00a0wiry guitars and blaring screams, it momentarily dissipates into eerie ambience before returning to its down-trodden best.<\/p>\n<p>Even though <em>&#8216;Have Me To Waste&#8217;<\/em> hits all the right points, you can&#8217;t help but feel\u00a0<strong>Starve To Survive<\/strong> will get lost in the\u00a0shuffle amongst the ever-growing swell of nu-metal-infused hardcore bands.
