Not wasting any time after their first full-length LP Minneapolis’s GEIGER COUNTER strike back with 4 new tracks on the “Nuclear” EP. On this release, GEIGER COUNTER pummel us with the familiar barrage of distorted scandi-influenced crust core that we all love, want, and expect from the Minneapolis crust scene.
For those unfamiliar GEIGER COUNTER style wise are reminiscent of late 90’s/early 2000’s greats like STATE OF FEAR, SERVITUDE, & REACT but they also have an obvious love for Japanese hardcore of the same era.
From the artwork to the lyrics and the music itself GEIGER COUNTER’s “Nuclear” EP is a dark, bleak, and desolate trip into our societies unrelenting quest for power and the ever-looming threat of annihilation. While these topics might seem redundant in punk GEIGER COUNTER have a chilling approach that will leave you speechless as your mind travels to dark places considering both our future and the past.
This EP is available on mixed color recycled vinyl or traditional black. Overall we have 8 different color options to choose from!
GEIGER COUNTER share members of COGNITIVE DISSONANCE, SCAPHE, CONDOMINIUM, & QUESTION.
