Diesel King - #gofuckyourselves

When #gofuckyourselves dropped in June 2017, Diesel King made it loud and proud: this is not a beginning trimmed in subtlety, but a full-force declaration. Their second release on APF Records, the EP is four tracks of raw, unrelenting sludge and heavy hybrid aggression, made to hit you in the chest and linger in your bones.

Right from Declaration through Cut The Cord and Skin Graft, the EP strikes with snarled vocals, brutal riffs and a tight rhythm section that feels like a machine grinding. There’s a sense of razor-sharp discipline under the noise—every breakdown, every chord assault, delivers. And then there’s the surprise twist: a cover of a Phil Collins track as the bonus track. It’s unexpected, almost absurd, but that absurdity underscores something about Diesel King’s identity: they’re heavy, yes—and they know it—and they’ll mess with conventions just for the fun of it.

Recorded at Titan Studios in Watford by Steve Sears, the sound is rugged without being sloppy; the mixing lets the filth shine but keeps the instrumentals tight enough to do real damage. The EP comes housed in a digipak CD edition with striking artwork by David “Spicy” Blakemore of Gurt, giving the release a visual edge that matches its sonic bite.

#gofuckyourselves isn’t whispering. It’s shouting. Diesel King proved with this one that they could blend heavy sludge, hardcore savagery and a twisted sense of humour—or defiance—into a package that punches hard. For anyone wanting to feel the heat, this EP is proof they can catch fire.
