Our take: Roachleg Records offers no clues as to the whereabouts or membership of this new group on their demo release. Like almost everything on Roachleg, it has a raw and blown-out recording, but Dente Canino’s songs don’t fit easily in one lane. Some parts lean into a Wretched-esque chaotic delivery, which makes sense as the lyrics are in Italian, but the metallic yet subtly melodic riffing style also reminds me of Final Conflict. That’s a tough line to walk—making your songs sound chaotic and crazy, but coherent enough that the hooks shine through—but the fact that Dente Canino can unite those two poles gives them a unique sound. I also hear similarities to neo-Italian hardcore bands like Psico Galera and Idiota Civilizatto, and if you like those bands, this is a no-brainer.
