Mürtaugh w/ Sawed Off, Fortunate Son, Furnace Floor
8 p.m. Saturday, July 29. The Sinkhole, 7423 South Broadway. $10. 314-328-2309.
Those familiar with the St. Louis band Mürtaugh's prior output — which was released on a pair of EPs in 2018 and 2019 — will likely find its latest work wholly unrecognizable. Whereas those earlier sets of songs hewed closer to straightforward hardcore punk with discernable rock & roll influences delivered for the most part at a mid-tempo pace, the newest iteration of the band has pushed all aspects of its sound to 11 and beyond. Part of that is the recent inclusion of local weapon of mass percussion Corpsegrinder (no relation) on drums, best-known for his work with such bygone acts as Who Fucking Cares?, Head On Collision and Sayonara. CG has an enviable knack for playing lightning-quick fastcore beats with machine gun precision, which pushes guitarist "Uncle" Dave Carr and bassist Jimmy Nichols' riffage to the near breaking point without taking it off the rails. In keeping, frontman Matt Monroe has switched up his delivery as well, eschewing the shouted, hardcore-style vocals of the past for a truly disgusting, guttural sound that borders on straight-up death metal. In sum, the newly reformed Mürtaugh now specializes in D-beat-damaged rippers with clear influence from the likes of Discharge (obviously), Wolfbrigade and even Darkthrone, with a little bit of Motörhead tossed in for good measure. It's a welcome change of pace and makes Mürtaugh one of the more interesting hardcore acts playing in St. Louis today.
Cling to the Beast: Mürtaugh is technically opening this show, which is a release affair for death metal act Sawed Off's latest, Forced Blunt Trauma. Fortunate Son and Furnace Floor round out the bill.
