Distroy – Demo-Lition (Demo)

Distroy hail from Tasmania, the southern island state of Australia, and deliver raw, energetic d-beat crust—but don’t let their name fool you into expecting something entirely straightforward and boring. This record is a whirlwind of aggression that blends genres with blistering precision.

Kicking off with “Fisfight,” a track that bursts out in full-on powerviolence fury, the album doesn’t let up. The six remaining tracks hit like rapid-fire rounds from a machine gun, with searing metallic riffs and relentless speed fueled by burning anger, nihilism, and hate. It’s clear that Distroy draws influence from legendary Japanese bands like Death Side and G.I.S.M., infusing their manic energy with the chaotic precision of their riffs.

What sets Distroy apart is their uniquely Australian take on hardcore. Their super-fast, violent edge recalls modern Aussie hardcore staples like Straightjacket Nation and Extortion. The result is an explosive mix of raging d-beat, burning spirits tension, and straight-up powerviolence demolition.

This is a release that grabs you by the throat. If you’re into d-beat and powerviolence with a chaotic Japanese tinge, Distroy is a band you need to hear more from.
