Crossover… back and forth… and again…
Posted August 2, 2008 at 00:25 | Category: News

Deity Down Records sent me a CD that I first had a hard time wrapping my head around, but after a couple of listens it's easier to get an idea.
To get attached to a certain genre or style is probably Disturbing Foresights' worst nightmare as their CD "De-grunged" very much is all over the place musically. What starts off with a beat box vs. drums thing and later passed through grunge vs. hip-hop territory finally ends up in hardcore and metal crossover land. You should however probably expect some of the 80's crossover bands' later material and not their early influential stuff if you're looking for comparisons. If that even as they suddenly throw you off course with street punk influences in another track.

Return

THEY'VE TAKEN EVERYTHING v/a 2xCD

BEHIND ENEMY LINES The Global Cannibal LP

Recently added reviews:

ADRENICIDE Kill CD
Endless Brutality of Men Records

A site for self development for the post modern hippie discusses the concept of when “enough is enough”: “Enough can describe quantity or quality, depending on the subject or object”. Adrenicide released “Kill” last year as their fourth album in three years, and to top it off, the released yet another full length last year. To put it bluntly, on this release they clearly excel in quantity, and fail miserably in terms of quality.

VON BØØM Punkrockterrorists CD
F.D.A. Rekotz

I was pretty impressed with the material Von Bøøm presented on their split with Motorbreath and any fears of a band that returns after two decades and completely ruin any heritage was soon washed away. What this means is that I approach this CD in a different manner as I already know they can deliver, so this time I expect quality instead of just hope they won’t loose their dignity...

ASSASSINATORS/D.S.B. split 7”
Alerta Antifascista/Halo of Flies Records

At first look this might seem as an odd pairing of bands, and I agree. I still think it’s somewhat strange, but that doesn’t stop it from being two good bands for the price of one so it’s really a good deal.

Danish Assassinators continue to deliver the melodic punk they’ve proven to be very good at in the past.

TERRORSTAT/TWISTED SYSTEM split CD
Endless Brutality of Men

Eighteen tracks in thirty-six minutes and a Swedish - American crustcore team-up with two bands that I think would have benefited from doing separate releases.

When a bands’ style is described as raw, rampant crustcore with a couple of heavy mid-tempo breakdowns it could just as well be a way of tip-toeing around the fact that they don’t have so much to offer as it could mean...
