RI (CD): king of the monsters. 14 / 18 tracks / 2002 (?)

+ lyric sheet and label flyer. CD reissue adds the tracks from Friendly Fire 7”, Enewetak split 7”, and Cry Now Cry Later comp. 7”.

Intense gloomy hardcore in the style of their 7”. I could compare them to His Hero is Gone again, and the mood is indeed similar, but rhythm-wise, Unruh are more diverse. Many of the tracks are mid-tempo, almost stoner-rocking, and then explode into ultrafast grindcore. Anyhow, great stuff. [7]

Ähnlich wie die 7“; exzellenter düsterer Hardcore. Ich könnte sie jetzt nochmal mit His Hero is Gone vergleichen, was von der Stimmung her auch hinkommt, aber Unruh sind vom Tempo her vielseitiger. Viele Songs sind schleppend, schleifend, fast Stoner-Rock-artig, und explodieren dann in rasenden Grindcore. Gut.

Tracks: salt lake of fire and brimstone / compost / salute / rebirth of family values / closed circuit / jab job / mercitron / numbered days / ugly inside / fear and loathing among the working class
