Uzumaki and Bushwhack come almost half a year since the release of their last two singles, Victim Instigator and Powder Prophet, but expand on the EDM elements Powerdrill have started to include within their works.
Could it be considered cybergrind, like their current label-mates Still 101? The breakbeat introduction to Uzumaki, named after the cult work by Japanese manga artist Junji Ito, does offer credence to Powerdrill moving in that direction.
But the once-again blunt force trauma of Bushwhack, featuring guest vocals from another MUZAI artist, Baleful95, highlights that Powerdrill is happy traversing the different, transgressive expressions that the hardcore punk landscape recognizes.
