hand held heart. hhh-08 / 4 tracks / 2000

+ lyric sheet and label catalog. 100 made of a 2×7” set with two one-sided 7”s and special packaging.

The first two Orchid tracks are among their best, fast, crazy and intense hardcore/screamo; the third track is a long piano solo which isn’t too exciting. The Red Scare track is solid hardcore with an emo edge; OK but nothing too special. [7]  

Die ersten beiden Orchid-Tracks gehören zum Besten, was diese Band zu bieten hat; rasend schneller und intensiver Hardcore/Screamo. Der dritte Song ist ein langes und ruhiges Klavier-Solo, nicht besonders aufregend. Der Red-Scare-Track fällt dagegen deutlich ab; ganz ordentlicher Hardcore mit Emo-Touch, mehr nicht.
