The note this Finnish band included says they’ve been at it for thirty-five years. Based on the songs herein, I believe it: throughout, Abortti 13 prove masters of the form, whether playing mid-tempo 1977-style punk or blistering hardcore. It’s a joy to hear such love for the genre coming through in the music, which concerns itself with war, fear of the unknown, and (you guessed it) Christopher Lee. –Michael T.
