Aversion – Fall From Grace – Review

Aversion

Fall From Grace (Doctor Dream)
by Scott Hefflon

Remember when Metallica had bad production and cheesy lyrics but they rocked with a snarl and attitude you could smash walnuts with? Since they’ve gone power rock as an artistic statement and solid career move, there’s an opening for a raw, thrashy, mean band to play the ’90s version of “Whiplash.” Aversion could be that band. They have the mighty instrumentals, speedcore drumming, and Hetfield snarl to pull off “Kill a Queer for Christ” and the rampaging “Waco Jesus.” They’re raw, they’re fast, but please folks, stop calling them punk.
