Bad Breeding - Contempt (2024)
Bad Breeding's Contempt is a visceral and intense exploration of modern societal issues, delivering a powerful critique of capitalism, environmental destruction, and social injustices. The album combines the raw energy of hardcore punk with the political fervor of anarcho-punk, making it a compelling listen for fans of the genre.
The album opens with "Temple of Victory," setting a tone of relentless aggression and unflinching critique. Tracks like "Survival" and "Devotion" showcase the band's ability to blend raw punk energy with thought-provoking lyrics. The title track, "Contempt," offers a slower but equally intense conclusion to the album, maintaining its uncompromising message throughout.
Bad Breeding's commitment to their message is evident not only in their music but also in the accompanying essays addressing topics such as homelessness, pollution, and animal rights. This thoughtful approach, combined with their aggressive sound, makes Contempt a standout release in the punk scene.
Overall, Contempt is both a sonic assault and a call to arms, urging listeners to confront and resist the systemic issues plaguing society. The album's unrelenting intensity and clear political stance make it a powerful addition to Bad Breeding's discography (Louder Than War) (Kerrang!) (Clash Music).
