Die My Will isn’t far behind with their Coalesce/semi-Cannibal Corpse grind. They’ve even got distorted bass on some of the tracks! Now that’s quality grind.
And while the layered girl vocals teeter close to B-52’s territory, the pounding drums and distorted roar of lead bass remind you this is rock-yer-ass rock.
Aggressive, loud, rock-based but without pandering to whimsical trends of commercial radio, and basically heavy, gruff, yet melodic in a tough sorta way.
A great collection of hardcore bands mostly from Boston, some obscure, some defunct, this release could serve as a primer for anyone interested in the scene.
