Victims - Sirens (2016)

Victims are one of the pillars of swedish crust, nearly twenty years of existence and with Sirens their sixth album. Dicharge is an influence of course but along D-beat you have faster parts and also mid-tempos, and also some more Motorized rock'n'roll elements, like the guitar soloing. There's also an important epic / melodic elements that can link them to "neo-crust" as well. They are rooted in the Discharge / Motorhead tradition but avoids being as repetitive and predictable as many crust / d-beat bands. Sirens is an enjoyable listen, and probably among the best crust  /D-beat albums you will hear this year.
