Another notch up from the debut 7”; ultra fast hardcore, still complex and diverse. In a league with Infest or Dropdead, great stuff. [8] (bj) Before Power Violence had a name , the genre had already peaked. The music is flat out ultra fast hardcore - 11 songs in about 7 minutes! The drumming is completely incredible, they make this record. It’s often hard to tell what the guitar riffs are on the fast parts, but by no means is this tuneless noise. The lyrics are bleak, hopeless, full of hate. The singer from Hell No said “it’s arguably the best hardcore record ever made” - I’d have to agree with him. [10] (BD)
Nochmal etwas härter, kontrollierter, mehr auf den Punkt als die erste 7”. Ultraschneller Hardcore der Infest/Dropdead-Liga, der wegen der vielen Tempoewechsel auch nicht zum reinen Gehacke verkommt. Gut.
