It's so rare to find good beat-down hardcore with a soft side. Either it's just not heavy enough or it doesn't take a moment to realize the sadness behind all the hate. When these guys get violent it's scary to close ones eyes, the most immediate mental image being a fist hammering your face. You can't stay mad at your aggressor for long though because the following track feels like a heartfelt apology. All the elements that make great hardcore are present, the lurching breakdowns, brutal floor tom and kick fills that rumble the bowels, anger and hatred in the words, even the occasional articulate blast beat, but it's the self-reflection that makes this a special album.
