Ghetto Spiritual

MyNameIsRedundant I don't have a whole lot to say in the way of constructive criticism in regards to this release.
All in all, it's a pretty stellar, albeit short, ep that goes pound for pound on the aggression and attitude necessary to keep your head above the crowd in the beatdown scene. The greatest strength of Ghetto Spiritual, and Dygora for that matter, is their sound. They aren't even competing in the same weight division as most with how tight, punchy, and tough the production on this is. Favorite track: All Power to the People.

about

'Ghetto Spiritual' is a term coined by the band as a salute to the Negro Spirituals, which were sung by the enslaved Africans in the Western hemisphere. The Negro Spirituals were sung to forget their pain during that moment; a moment wrapped in song. DYGORA have replaced the word 'Negro' with 'Ghetto', to highlight the different songs and rhythms that are still being sung today. The band's EP was inspired by those voices that still carry through.

Ghetto Spiritual embodies the aggressiveness of DYGORA's roots and conveys a message of the band's anger and desire to be heard in a world of confusion and uncertainty, a release of the tension that has built up in these previous months. The three-track record is an energetic and blunt call to those enraged, and for those seeking a voice amongst the obedient chaos we call society.

The band comments:

"To us, this EP is the epitome of rhythmic rage. A groovy aggression with a message unseen in the mainstream. We want people to feel where we have come from, what we've endured, what we've seen. We believe people aren't angry enough, and we know music is the greatest tool to bring about that anger; that same anger we've all decided to suppress, but with this EP we are asking people to bring it forth."
