INTENSITY
the ruins of our future lp
(DY18)

Killer hardcore, another stirring batch of material for this Swedish band. Speed, fury and drama, along with the occasional hint of melody but Intensity keep it in overdrive all the time. Featuring members of SATANIC SURFERS (bad taste, fat records) It rages and there's substance on the lyrical plate, taking issue with class divisions, the price of development and racism. A multi-lingual effort, with songs sung in English, Swedish and Spanish. Complete burn.

Suburban Voice #45
Killer hardcore, another stirring batch of material for this Swedish band. Speed, fury and drama, along with the occasional hint of melody but Intensity keep it in overdrive all the time. Not slavish to one style-one hears the potent assault of the Partners In Crime label bands (His Hero, Deathreat, etc.) more than in the past, moving away from their somewhat youth crew-sounding origins. All that matters is it rages and there's substance on the lyrical plate, taking issue with class divisions, the price of development and racism, the latter most-pointedly on "RPFD," where Rodrigo mentions feeling discriminated against even in the so-called open-minded hardcore scene. A multi-lingual effort, with songs sung in English, Swedish and Spanish. Complete burn.
