Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off
No experimentation? this is METALLIC HARDCORE why does it need experimentation?. It's not avant-garde metal. It is made to punch you in the face, not to hand you an art degree. Heavy, nice sludgey riffs, cool bounchy breakdowns (reminiscent of early 90s hardcore. All Out War, Integrity, Hatebreed, Earth Crisis etc.) and lyrics that are socially aware/conscious. Stand out songs, True Fear, The Hammer, No Kin and B.C.

Very enjoyable, bonus points to the lead singer sounding like the Ultimate Warrior cutting a promo.

this is so fun. so simple but so effective. i love the vocalist, he sounds the most pissed off anyone has ever been. such a unique tone, it feels like he is screaming directly in my face spitting. so many great callouts and memorable lyrics. great mosh riffs. just heavy as shit. time to take some creatine and hit the bench press. exactly what i was looking for.

Production here is surprisingly good. Super clear without sounding lifeless. Don't really care about their music sadly, it's a bit monotonous and boring to me. A rawer mix would've helped a bit to make this more energetic I think.
Okay this picks up pace in the second half. Belligerent and No Kin go hard.

haha that was my thought on first listen. belligerant is my fav track here. goes insanely hard. i like the production, riffs have a really nice crunch to them. vocals perfectly dominant as well.

Yeah it's a bit too clinical for me, does suck a bit of energy out of it. But on a sound level this sounds great. Perhaps just not the best kind of production for this kind of music.

if you want something a bit like this but rougher around the edges check out the first hatebreed album, an essential listen for this style of music

Satisfaction is an all time great hardcore record agreed. This band unfortunately doesn't do much for me. Think its the production

I just jammed that new Orthodox record you recd me and I feel it does this nu-beatdown style a lot more justice. Super fun and I really dig the vocals

ah awesome! that's a great one, glad you enjoyed. very bouncy riffs and yeah the vocalist is really good, super vicious. way faster than this though and the mathiness in it sets it part. it does have a real punch to it. i am loving beatdown now haha. such a catchy fun genre.

If you want some recs:
Irate - Burden of a Crumbling Society (may come off cheesy but they were early on incorporating DM and hip hop stuff in beatdown, ahead of its time imo. Later stuff also incorporates some more melodic DM stuff)
Everybody Gets Hurt - The Dark Seeds of Man (Beatdown w a lot more punk leanings but plenty of hard pits, this one took me a lot of listens to crack but is now a personal fav)
On Broken Wings - It's All a Long Goodbye (Beatdown w very apparent New England metalcore influence such as melocore riffs and clean Vox)
Denied - Brotherhood (Just riffs so fuckin hard)
Invoke - Enemy of the Sound Perception (prob my fav beatdown release of 2025)
Missing Link - Watch Me Bleed (Another new band w slight hip hop influences but this record gets better every time I spin)
King Nine - Scared to Death (Feel like this recorded spearheaded the beatdown revival in the last 10 years. Very clear EGH influence too and gets better w time)

Metalcore featuring Brann Dailor? a quicker and mathier Kublai Khan? That sounds interesting!
