Q+A WITH ADAM FOR WYRD DAZE:
wyrddaze.wordpress.com/2023/10/08/wyrd-question-daze-poundland/

"Violence is an album that captures that sense of perpetual anger, frustration and ever-creeping hopelessness. Of course, it does all that while making a gloriously malevolent racket." (4/5)
- Andy Brown, Louder Than War
louderthanwar.com/pound-land-violence-album-review/

"Returning with a sixth album of sludgy, psychedelic industrial punk, as well as featuring Steve Watson of Iron Monkey, Pound Land continue to let us know the state of the nation in a way that Sleaford Mods would kill to. Heavy without resorting to metal cliches and with electronics that sound dirty, ‘Violence’ is their best record to date as well as their most challenging."
- Christopher Owens, Predominance 31
www.thepensivequill.com/2023/09/predominance-31.html

"Rarely has a band so perfectly captured the zeitgeist through a horrible mess of noise that makes you physically hurt and ache and feel like you’re being subjected to an array of tortures. This is the world. This is Britain, in 2023."
- Christopher Nosnibor, Aural Aggravation
auralaggravation.com/2023/09/17/pound-land-violence/

"Pound Land have somehow perfectly represented the state of the United Kingdom in audio form, which is as bleak and worryingly relatable, yet furiously beautiful as you could possibly imagine."
- Jake Hancke, The Cauteriser
cauteriser.co.uk/2023/09/23/pound-land-violence-album-review/

"Violence is everything its title suggests. A band firing on all cylinders in what is not only one of the greatest releases under the Cruel Nature stable. It’s up there with the year’s greatest releases, period."
- Simon Kirk, Sun 13
sun-13.com/2023/09/26/pound-land-violence/

"Pound Land do not release music to drink beer to on a sunny Sunday. They are the real rage against the machine – an uncompromising, uncomfortably harsh grind that speaks hidden and unfortunate truths over a machine-like grinding, a smoke belching, diesel-fuelled mill engine powering a colossal, faceless, brutalist concrete building that crushes dreams and excitement and individuality and the beauty of youth" (10/10)
- Dark Juan, Ever Metal
www.ever-metal.com/2023/09/28/pound-land-violence/

"Violence is bleak bleak bleak, Violence is also brilliant"
- Sean Worrell, The Organ

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Violence' is the new album from Pound Land - eight filthy tracks of vitriolic desperation recorded by the core duo of Nick Harris and Adam Stone and featuring a number of guest musicians, including Steve Watson of Iron Monkey and solo artist Adam Petiss.

'Violence', the band's sixth album, often veers towards a nineties alt-metal/industrial sound, along with the usual smatterings of customary Pound Land abstraction.

In addition, this new album continues to aggressively push lyrical themes relating to the same old shit that seems to be getting worse: corporate hegemony, business culture, mainstream media influence, automation, class polarisation and economic austerity.

This is no frills heavy as hell noise rock that stomps and rolls methodically from strength to strength. A standout effort. MetalDipshit

Groovy doomy psych. Black-hole heavy while still being trippy as hell. Reminds me of Gnod, Pigs x 7, Boris, Earthless... among my favorite modern bands, so Bloody Head is in good company. Levrikon

Never get tired of watching GNOD live. a ferocious blend of feedback, astonishing riffing, bleeding guitars and feedback so aggressive you have to take a step back. This great album is slightly more experimental though! jonezyboy
