Hounds
of Hate- No Redemption 7” review
THIS is hardcore, folks. The individualist, the pessimist, the lone
warrior syndrome is the focal point of the lyrics- though a bit of a stretch,
one could say that this is Nietzschean in nature, the music of the Ubermensch,
if music were a virtue to him. There’s
nothing to dislike about that. The music
is hardcore circa ’88- fast and slow parts are constantly alternating, and when
there is a breakdown, it’s fitting, not just thrown in for the sake of
itself. A rougher, tougher, grittier
version of Slapshot, the guitars are powerful and tight, the bass is crunchy,
and the drums are steady as can be. So,
for NYHC or 90s-style hardcore, this is one of the most stellar EPs you’ll come
across. Why isn’t this band being hyped
up like every other hardcore band from Pennsylvania and New York? This is one of the few bands who would
actually deserve it. One of the best
hardcore EPs I’ve heard in a good while- nab it ASAP.
