Denton’s heaviest steel-wielders thrash like Slayer with the sneer of hardcore outfit Suicidal Tendencies, but it takes a few listens to regain thought processes necessary to, well, think that far. What sticks in my mind are the guitars foaming at the mouth for knife-war rhythms on “Built Like Danzig, Face Like Kennedy” and a vicious bonus track. Mugzu has thrived in Denton’s metal-shy scene for 11 years with no professionally produced recordings until now, and the group has been pushing into Dallas more often lately. So if you can survive until the last few bars of music-box melody closer “Not Really,” check them out at Denton’s WakeUp Fest this weekend on the hardcore stage. It’s time for fans of headliner Drowning Pool to learn a thing or two about real chaos.
