Did 11PM records need to make a 3 minute long jukebox single. Yes. Obviously. and guess what you also know that you need it. Consec is probably the fastest hardcore band in US America that isn't power violence. They are the last band that ever needs to do this style. If you heard the LP, you will love this, its not a departure, just cranked up a notch. Southern style, fast hardcore, like socialcide and koro, and honestly its all you need.

Our take: Putting out a 7” with only three minutes of music is a bold move, but I’ll take new Consec material any way they’re willing to serve it up. We last heard from Consec on 2023’s Wheel of Pain, and while I loved that record, Biohackers’ higher concentration makes it even more potent. Hailing from Atlanta, Consec isn’t too far from Koro’s stomping grounds, and I feel like that influence is all over the title track, which crams an insane amount of twists and turns into its furious 31 seconds. “Coward” and “Misanthrope” stretch out a little more with broader riffs, the latter even featuring a tempo-change, but the whole record is still over long before you can find your footing. Pundits may debate the pros and cons of this having a physical release on 7”, but the minimal DJ-style packaging (which reminds me of Urban Blight’s More Reality) doesn’t oversell what’s here, and one would be hard-pressed to identify a single second of filler.
