No joke thrashcore from New Jersey laced with angst toward a depressive society, which comes across in the pretty furious, albeit slightly mundane music, except for those punchy choruses and heavy guitar crunches. Certainly not a stereotypical mosh assault, the angry 'Who Died And Made You God' being the album 'hit', although personal faves being the mellow 'Demented Obsession' which leads into a mid tempo chuggernaut, reminding me of Metallica, and the five minute 'Battered Youth' which gallops in on a thunder bass and heavy riff. Somehow this type of stuff was so appealing and I find myself even more intrigued by it many years later, maybe it's the hint of groove and the sincerity of it all.Wednesday, 27 July 2011
