CONVR45 is Compassion's Pacing Animal 12". The Brooklyn twosome follows up their 2019 demo with an 8-song EP of blast beat laden hardcore that fits its title. Much as a pacing animal deliberates on its environment with pent up frustration, the record is a single minded exercise in aggressive fixation. Fans of No Comment, Iron Lung, and other classics of the genre will find plenty to like here.
