Persecutor – Lateral Violence 7"

Drawing on an aggressive lineage that encompasses influences like Hatred Surge, Poison Idea, Nails, Discharge, and Insect Warfare, PERSECUTOR’s latest EP release–Lateral Violence–turns their conceptual scope inward, exploring themes of anger, horizontal hostility, social dynamics, and the stain of intergenerational trauma. By uplifting the voices of people of colour, the group’s collective vision remains one centred on the immediacy of non-white experience, daring to present raw honesty through naked confrontation. With clenched fists and firm resolve, PERSECUTOR continues to wield their extreme sonic profile as a tool for breaking chains–by any means necessary.
