Brazen - Abyssal Demo 2012

Brazen is a heavy hardcore band from The Redlands, Australia and this is their newest recording after couple of demos. Their sound is heavy metallic hardcore played tight. They remind me of bands like Lionheart or Since The Flood in a way they incorporate metal into hardcore without actually sounding metalcore, and at faster parts they even have a Terror feel. The songs are fast and hard with stomping mosh parts and there are even solos now and there. Pretty tight! Definitely band to watch for! Download it!
