jack the stripper

Jack The Stripper is a hardcore band from Melbourne, Australia.
“Black Annis” is the first full-length work from these avant-noise merchants. Containing eight tracks with a central lyrical theme of nightmares and personal demons, this album is a harrowing blend of grind, chaotic hardcore, mosh metal and jazz fusion. Filled with rage and unsettling progressions that have been compared to early Dillinger Escape Plan and Converge, “Black Annis” captures the blood-spitting violent live spirit of the band in a highly creative, original and polished independent release.
