BACKTRACK - "BAD TO MY WORLD" (2017)

BACKTRACK - "BAD TO MY WORLD"
(Running time: 20:01 minutes; 10 songs)
("Bridge Nine Records"; 2017; CD):

Yes, trust your eyes because this is really already the second post for this very day and this means the second record-review post of/for that/this day and also this one is on another (brand)new 2017 full-length-album and here and now it will be or is all about the (brand)new 2017 BACKTRACK record "BAD TO MY WORLD" released pretty recently via the well-known "BRIDGE NINE RECORDS" label... even 20:01 minutes of a total running time sound to me like everything but not a full-length-album and, yes, this also not for a Hardcore release and even more not when we still have to pay the full price for it anyhow, point and fact. Okay, with that bitching of/by me right out of the way then this is already the third BACKTRACK release that I am doing a record-review on up here in all the years of the existence of that blog now and here we still or again get the full force load of pissed off and angry stomping and harsh ripping New York Hardcore somewhere between MADBALL and FURIOUS STYLES, with good doses of WARHOUND and with some big TERROR in it all, too. Powerful and highly energetic and with some forceful punshing and pushing dynamics forward storming, heavy raging and hard kicking with a high level of intensity and an incredible nasty'n'angry pissed off attitude that's how BACKTRACK assault with their ten new smashers that they compiled here on and to "BAD TO MY WORLD", all delivered with a metallic crunch to it all and here and their with slightly punky approach to it all, too. Hysteric and aggressive screamed and shouted, bitter and pissed off lead vocals through and through spitted into the mic and partially backed up by some strong gang vocals here and there, heavy and harsh thrashing guitars, a roaring bass, and thundering drums define the bonesmashing and rousing musick delivered by BACKTRACK here on "BAD TO MY WORLD" and highly energetic and intense songwriting melts it all together with a big focus on crushing grooves and slamming mosh parts as well as on harsh and fast shredding up tempo attacks and some cool guitar leads have also managed to sneak their path into this raging inferno, and again especially the very charismatic lead vocals give them a very strong own identity. I would just have wished for simply more 'weight' to it all and some more grapping hooks that make really big hits, like they had them on their precursor album, but that's all with what I am sort of not so satisfied with, hm, but anyhow and anyway BACKTRACK's "BAD TO MY WORLD" is one damn strong album that I can only clearly and calmly recommend to any (New York) Hardcore fan outta there and that also offers strong lyrics, one hell of an outstanding beautiful artwork, and a loud blasting production sound on top of it all, yes, so get it. And then that's it already, a short album makes (sometimes) for a short review, yes, but I think you now know all what you need to know for now about BACKTRACK's "BAD TO MY WORLD" and so, yes, like already said, yes, best go and get it. HARDCORE!!! FIST!!!
