Dystopia

Featuring current and ex-members of Crisis, Voivod, Dystopia, Crowbar and The Convalescence, Master’s Ashes pulls from the bleak, dystopian heaviness of the early ’90s while sharpening it into something unmistakably current.

To celebrate the release of Satan Is King, the new record from power-violence-grinding punks ACxDC, we caught up with vocalist Sergio Amalfitano to find out what five heavy albums changed his life.

Current/ex-members of Operation Ivy, Neurosis and Dystopia play British-style punk in Kicker.

Where were you when you first unlocked an unlisted track after a long period of dubious silence as a record played possum? Or when you noticed an album creeping up to track 69, where Tool’s “Disgustipated” lurked at the edge of Undertow? If you were born after 1995, maybe never.
