This band features ex-members of the mighty fuckin' Ripcord, and damn do they offer up some pissed off hardcore with tons of speed and raging vocal shouts! This stuff is tight as shit! Straight blasting drums, fast power chords with maniacal basslines slicing a path the whole way through. this shit's done right the way it should be! "Clone" rips into a sloppy guitar solo in classic form, and "Hate Your Kind" drops a huge old school breakdown. "Pure Hate" is a Poison Idea cover - a bit more melodic with a more obvious punk influence, and "Break the Chains" is fast and catchy hardcore/punk originally recorded by Deathwish. Good stuff. They've got a nice, raw recording as well. It's definitely not clean, but it's totally full with an even mix that works perfectly. The lyrics are just total anger, complete with plenty of uses of the word "fuck", which usually amounts to brutal honesty: "What makes you fuckin' think I'd waste my time on you? You fuckin' parasite, I'm not like fuckin' you." The layout is all black and white with oddball facial images on the front and the back covers. A simple xeroxed insert includes lyrics and lineup information. It's as simple as that. The presentation could be better, but watch out for this band because they fuckin' kill. They could be legendary if they keep at it. [7/10]
