Rebelmatic, Black Hole Eats the Tornado: REVIEW

by Darcy MacDonald

“Step-children of the NYHC movement, students of hip hop and Black music, and map-keepers of New York’s underground, Rebelmatic leave no meat on the bone.”

Rebelmatic, Black Hole Eats the Tornado (Say-10)

Right on time for a revolution of the mind, body and spirit, NYC riff crunchers Rebelmatic return with a fourth full-length that drips with the paranoid sweat of early ’80s punk and hardcore, soaked deep into the metal, soul and groove its members also bring to the killing floor. Step-children of the NYHC movement, students of hip hop and Black music, and map-keepers of their city’s underground, Creature, Karnage, Alkatraz and Ramsey Jones leave no meat on the bone with 11 hard cuts of catchy, dizzying aggression made for the moment. 8.5/10 Trial Track: “Walls Have Ears”

Darcy MacDonald has been with Cult MTL since day one, a decade ago. Which means today, he’s a middle-aged white guy (albeit one more interested in other people’s ideas than in his own). He was previously a columnist and reporter for Montreal Mirror, and has also created content (FKA “written”) for RBMA, Noisey, Montreal Gazette, The National Post and probably some other great places he’s forgotten about. Music, culture, community and miscellaneous questions in search of answers all come across his desk, sooner or later.
