Yet another band from Virgina with yet another excellent release - this one is a few years old, but that's recent enough for me (especially since I only picked it up this year). Invertebrates play fast and furious meat and potatoes hardcore punk, reminiscent of early USHC, but not without its own little flairs here and there. Side A's standout is Humid Crypt, with mid-paced outro, and the longest track on the album coming in at 1:33. Side B's title track is just as strong, and bleeds directly into the next track - then, before you know it, after a few more short minutes, the album is over.
