RI: victory records. vr 04 / 6 tracks / jul 1990

+ lyric sheet. Soulforce version has a different (reportedly rougher) mix than the Victory reissue and a different “band” sleeve; some on orange, most on black vinyl. Test pressings exist. 1st Victory press: 600 on black, 392 on purple, 8 on blue vinyl. yellow/orange fade on labels, black ink. 2nd press: 1000 made, gold labels, blue lettering. 3rd press: 500 made, yellow labels. Rereleased on Victory: The Early Singles CD.

Musically, this is typical Victory-style hate core; tight, powerful, metallic and angry. The lyrics are peaceful, though. Good and interesting. [8]

Von der Musik her der typische Hatecore, die Texte sind aller­dings im Vergleich zu den anderen Victory-Bands sehr friedfertig, was ich nur begrüßen kann. Solider und kraftvoller SE-Core mit den üblichen Attributen (Moshparts, Metalelemente etc.). Ist auch längst nicht so nervig und einfallslos wie viele andere Bands dieses Genres. Gut.

Tracks: standing strong / believe / walk away // enough / identity crisis / end the cruelty
