Ambassador Gun deliver heaps of aggression across Golden Eagle, the Minneapolis metalers second full-length since forming in 2005.
Fusing hardcore, grind, and plenty of scrap-happy riffing, the trio doles out 11 bare-knuckle jaw-jabs in 30 minutes with a reckless vibe that is exhausting. Pummeling violently through the uneven opener, “Wounded Knee,” the band finds its footing on the throttling “Christbastard” and doesn’t look back. Tortured vocals and time-signature shifts are the trio’s calling card, proving power through unkempt rage and uncaring ethos.
Golden Eagle is a rapid-fire, feral collection of shotgun blasts. One listen is enough to understand that Ambassador Gun has landed.
Golden Eagle is out now on Prosthetic Records.
