Pristina is a metal/hardcore outfit from Connecticut. The arrival of their latest EP, Khe Sanh, to my doorstep was a pleasant surprise, one that was not expected but is now appreciated. This group of individuals delivers a fairly heavy and burly concoction of metal-core. Their sound is quite gritty and raw and, well, very dirty sounding. At points I found myself recalling groups like Blood Has Been Shed (the very first LP), Deadguy, Bloodlet, and Disembodied. If this is your sound, then you'll probably be into these guys. Oh and they throw in a cover of "Nervous Breakdown," pretty cool.
