desolate sounds. ds-1 / 4 tracks / 1993

Pretty average and very metal-influenced hardcore from these two Boston bands. Both recordings are clean and clear but not nearly as thick and heavy as they need to be for this sort of music. Sincere and somewhat political lyrics but nothing new and nothing to write home about. [5] (BS).

Durchschnittlicher Hardcore mit viel Metaleinfluß von zwei Boston-Bands. Der Sound ist etwas zu dünn für diese Art von Musik. (BS)

Tracks: Arise - proven method / outline of a system // Nevertheless - columbus day / scared to death
