Here’s my short version \, though. Ayucaba plays a style of\nmetal-informed hardcore that reminds me of records like the Exploited’s Death\nBefore Dishonour\, Broken Bones’  Bonecrusher\, and English Dogs’ Forward into\nBattle. Like those records\ , Operación Masacre takes the skeleton of driving\,\nUK82-style punk and i nfuses it with metal’s more complex riffing and\narrangements\, adding a g ratifying layer of complexity without losing the energy\nor directness. Th eir biggest strength\, in my book\, is their vocalist\, who has\none of th e most distinctive and interesting voices in punk. It’s this kind of\nhoar se demon rasp\, sandpaper abrasive and mean as hell\, but still carrying a \ntune and articulating the lyrics clearly. You might remember her from he r\nprevious band Inyeccion\, and while I’m a huge fan of Inyeccion’s LP\, Cromi has\nonly grown more adept with her instrument since then. Ayucaba’s songs are\ncomplex and thoughtfully arranged\, filling the album with a w ealth of rhythms\nand melodies that keep the music exciting from moment to moment without feeling\nscattered. It’s so easy for more ambitious takes on hardcore punk to feel\noverwrought and lose that sense of directness\, but Ayucaba just nails it.\nThey’ve also incorporated a touch of the spook y and cultish vibes from the best\nunderground worldwide 80s hardcore. Whi le the composition\, performance\, and\nproduction are all thoughtful and composed (and hence don’t have the unhinged\nenergy of\, say\, G.I.S.M. or early Wretched)\, Ayucaba makes space in their music\nfor the mysterious ambiance that makes so many of those records great. The\nthoughtfulness al so extends to the record’s packaging\, with its beautiful\nscreen-printed jacket\, poster / lyric insert\, and obi strip. Musically\nambitious\, tho ughtfully presented\, super vibey\, and punk as fuck\, Operación\nMasacre  is undoubtedly one of 2025’s best hardcore punk records.\n\nhttps://educac ioncinica.bandcamp.com/album/operaci-n-masacre\n[https://educacioncinica.b andcamp.com/album/operaci-n-masacre]\n\n \n\nHARSH RESPONSE: \n\nHC PUNK V ienna\n\nhttps://harshresponse.bandcamp.com/music\n[https://harshresponse. bandcamp.com/music]\n\n \n\n \n\nSCHIRCHE OIDE: \n\nRAW PUNK\n\nhttps://sc hircheoide.bandcamp.com/album/neue-hits\n[https://schircheoide.bandcamp.co m/album/neue-hits] URL:https://kulturkarte.servus.at/event/ufza-ayucaba-harsh-response-schirch e-oide-1 GEO:48.3008184;14.2819299 LOCATION:KAPU - Harald-Renner-Platz 1 / Kapuzinerstr. 36 4020 Linz STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:Konzert X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

AYUCABA: 

Operación Masacre 12" (Metadona Records) Spain ’s Metadona Records brings us the debut vinyl from this band based in Barc elona, but featuring expatriates from several locales. First of all, I sho uld say that if you are interested in this record, you should definitely c onsult the (very) deep dive Jeff did in his staf f pick last week; he goes into a lot of detail about every aspec t of Operación Masacre, and it’s a great read. Here’s my short version, though. Ayucaba plays a style of metal-informed h ardcore that reminds me of records like the Exploited’s De ath Before Dishonour, Broken Bones’ Bonecrusher , and English Dogs’ Forward into Battle. Like those records, Operación Masacre  ;takes the skeleton of driving, UK82-style punk and infuses it with metal’ s more complex riffing and arrangements, adding a gratifying layer of comp lexity without losing the energy or directness. Their biggest strength, in my book, is their vocalist, who has one of the most distinctive and inter esting voices in punk. It’s this kind of hoarse demon rasp, sandpaper abra sive and mean as hell, but still carrying a tune and articulating the lyri cs clearly. You might remember her from her previous band Inyeccion, and w hile I’m a huge fan of Inyeccion’s LP, Cromi has only grown more adept wit h her instrument since then. Ayucaba’s songs are complex and thoughtfully arranged, filling the album with a wealth of rhythms and melodies that kee p the music exciting from moment to moment without feeling scattered. It’s so easy for more ambitious takes on hardcore punk to feel overwrought and lose that sense of directness, but Ayucaba just nails it. They’ve also in corporated a touch of the spooky and cultish vibes from the best undergrou nd worldwide 80s hardcore. While the composition, performance, and product ion are all thoughtful and composed (and hence don’t have the unhinged ene rgy of, say, G.I.S.M. or early Wretched), Ayucaba makes space in their mus ic for the mysterious ambiance that makes so many of those records great. The thoughtfulness also extends to the record’s packaging, with its beauti ful screen-printed jacket, poster / lyric insert, and obi strip. Musically ambitious, thoughtfully presented, super vibey, and punk as fuck, Operación Masacre is undoubtedly one of 2025’s be st hardcore punk records.
