This feels much more like crust punk than regular punk. Through that lens, I think it works pretty well, but the drums and background vocals overall clip too much for crust, and don't sound as smooth as they should if that's the case. The lack of emphasis on the rhythm guitars to make way for shaker and lead atmospheric noises seems like a strange choice. Overall, I'd dial back the clipping and focus on softening the distortion more to make it more aesthetically pleasing instead of sounding band limited by all the damage.
