Angst is for young people, but frustration is for grownups. If you want to know the difference, look no further than This Will Weigh Heavily On Your Performance Appraisal, the debut release from Feel Worse. Over the course of 7 highly agitated songs, Feel Worse remind us that everyday doldrums are even more enervating than the things we rage about in our youth. Over a roiling churn of riffs and moods, Feel Worse swing effortlessly between metal, post-hardcore, and post-rock with splashes of black metal and noise experimentation thrown-in for good measure—not delivering gut punches so much as pressing on the bruises and brooding over the persistent ache. This Will Weigh Heavily On Your Performance Appraisal proves that maturity need not dim one’s fire. On the contrary: wisdom can be galvanizing—terrifying, even—especially when paired with a musical attack as invigorating as this. In a world that wants to send you spiraling. Feel Worse strike a mesmerizing balance between losing your shit and holding it together, all while pulling-off more fresh twists on heavy music than should rightfully be possible on the same release.
