I don’t mind name dropping bands here, because if there is one thing about HC elitists, it’s that we don’t mind listening to the same thing over and over again. Sometimes we want the straight up old style that we love. This record is heavily influenced by the late 80’s/early 90’s offerings by Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, Biohazard, Merauder, Crumbsuckers, Nuclear Assault, and even Sepultura… no doubt. At times the listener could swear they’re listening to any song off the first three Biohazard records and at other times Sepultura “Chaos AD” influences pop in. Here’s where I feel like I’m not doing the band justice. Although their influences are clearly evident, they have their own sound that slams you in the face and demands your attention. The vocals are spit with clear precision, not barked or growled out “brootaly”. Bitter End is tough as nails and this record is a heavy hardcore record, make no mistake. Every song on “Guilty as Charged” is absolutely killer, no filler. My personal favorites are “Guilty as Charged”, “Unjust”, and “Inborn”. For a real surprise, get the LP and spin it on 33 rpms, just saying. I already know this is going to be my favorite hardcore record for 2010. “It’s overrrr and dooonnnneee”!
