Correction- Weaken the Stronghold EP review

Correction- Weaken the Stronghold EP review
The power of the riff and the drum beat are strong with these ones- the title and band name track and unquestionable signs of this.  The one epic track is the last one, and the most memorable, and the first five are burly bruiser boy straight edge hardcore punk out of France.  The singer has an extraordinarily deep growling grunt to his vocals, the guitars are beefy but still chop pretty fast, and the drums are much the same, strong in both fast and slow parts.  This is good shit right here.

Correction- demo tape review



Correction- demo tape review
This hits hard from start to finish- burly, fast, gruff straight edge hardcore punk from France.  This has both fast and slow parts, no weak parts or B-sides or anything to suggest that it is anything short of stellar.  Lyrics are straight to the point, vocals gruff grunts of boiling rage, the bass is very distinct and plays a large role in the band’s sound, the drums thump away, never to miss a beat, and the guitar seems tuned down a step or two, but not notably so, at least in the mix.  The hardest song on this tape is the self-titled one, but regardless, this is as close to a flawless demo as one can get for modern hardcore punk, all songs included.  If you can, grab this ASAP.
