By Hate- s/t EP review
Metalcore-influenced
hardcore is often not a genre I enjoy, but I'll be damned if this
isn't one fucking badass EP. The vocals are ferocious, the guitars
are heavy as hell, the songs all flow naturally (no blatantly
inserted fight riff/spinkick breakdown moments), and the lyrics are
catchy, relatable, and not at all cheesy. I was impressed with this-
not a bad moment on it. It manages to have hardcore riffs and
headbang moments without diving into full-on metalcore, and the
stylistic output of the band is pretty gnarly too. Music to swing a
microphone stand at your friend to- I fuckin' dig it.
