Snapcase

Steps (Victory)
by Scott Hefflon

Hardcore with metal crunch is a popular trend recently, and Buffalo, NY’s Snapcase do it straight up. A super-thick bass line leads raging, and often distorted, vocals and rich guitar harmonies. Not many hardcore bands try guitar-layering techniques, and most lose the edge when they do. This is a personal, not preachy, 13-minute EP about rage and unity.
