.45 Stainles - OGBD
The album starts with a short intro which sounds like 15-minutes of heavy Fruity Loops engineering but when finally drums and guitars jump in it’s not that bad actually. Dual vocals get definitely the job done, guitars sound heavy and strong while the rhythm section lays down some tight grooves. Nothing ultra fast here, but the pace and tone pick up surprisingly often for that type of music. Two first songs after the intro, Endless and Hated, are probably the best on the album. The vocals deliver strong attitude and the tight performance by the band shows off their skills to create some memorable moments. Orighetto State Of Mind starts with a massive mid-tempo passage, but the energy somehow gets lost as the song progresses. The same goes for Wardrumz, the song got some powerful build up at the beginning and then progresses into some mediocre NYC-flavored hardcore. The tempo kicks up during the last song, At War, which delivers more bite with strong vocal performance while the rest of the band provides a solid and tight background.
The album surprisingly is better that I initially thought and after couple of spins I start to appreciate what they do here. I wouldn’t say it is spine chilling experience or anything ground breaking, but I doubt they had such aspirations anyway. All in all, I don’t care that it’s predictable, generic and there is rarely anything that would make you mosh around your room. Very often experimenting with its sound is the worst thing a hardcore band can do. Consciously or not, the band has definitely not fallen in this trap. My biggest gripe with this album however is that the band’s attitude is not entirely convincing. From the band’s name, to the lyrics and sound samples of gunshots between the songs, it’s all to much gangsta for my taste. Is living in Turku really that hard? On the other hand, it might be a joke, a gimmick, but if it is, it ain’t funny.

Wisdom In Chains - Ghost of Buddy
Wisdom in Chains Celebrates Puppy Love with "Ghost of Buddy", a tribute to Mad Joe Black's dog Buddy.
World In Decline - Self Reliance
World In Decline is a new band hailing from South Shore, MA with a heavy, yet slick sound. The band has been around since September last year and this is their debut EP which they share for free. These for songs are full of mosh, breakdowns, angry vocals and some more mosh on top of it. The execution is tight, everything flows together seamlessly and culminate as an energetic vibe. If you're into bands like Buried Alive or Death Before Dishonor don't sleep on this one. I've heard the band got ex-members of Reckless which is good recommendation cause Reckless was a solid band. Download it!
