*** TUSCON, ARIZONA HARDCORE ***

CONDEMNED - "VICIOUS REALITY"
("D.I.Y."; MP3 Download):

Okay folks, this here is some damn good and pure aggro and massive aggressive Hardcore from this warhorses from Tuscon, Arizona, heavyweight Hardcore with some Skinhead attitude to it, a lot of Working Class and Blue Collar pride in it, and some huge New York Hardcore spirit and passion in it. Fast paced and slammin' guitar riffin', sharp and aimed at ya as fuck, great forceful work of the bass and the drums, a violent and brutal and full shouting Tough Guy way of Hardcore shouting/singing, here and there some few Metal (especially SLAYER) homages to melt it all together, and damn fuckin' good changes of the writing and the arrangements of the songs, fast pace parts go hand in hand with some heavy knocking and even harder stomping 'groovy' Mosh parts and total devastating Beatdowns, and Stop-'n'-Go! non stop, yeahr, that's how I like it!!! If ya like NYHC Hardcore like AGNOSTIC FRONT, MADBALL, and also some SHEER TERROR you will also like this roughnecks here, even more if ya also in love BLOOD FOR BLOOD and WISDOM IN CHAINS and not to forget about some notes of the ONE LIFE CREW and maybe also HEAVYWEIGHT. So you see, this here is the real deal and one damn good Hardcore release. Bitter, aggressive and rebellious lyrics, also with a lot of Class War (or Class Rage) attitude, pretty authentic and so also damn sympathic, a pretty good (heavy and weighty) production sound, as well as a very cool and just great artwork. Thumbs up!!! All in all six songs in fourteen minutes, yehp, and so you also get a pretty short review, haha;-). Nothing how-ever groundbreaking or life-changing, nah, but really damn good stuff for all the Hardcore Silverbacks out there!!! So get it, you will enjoy it as much as I do enjoy it!!! It was released by the band itself as an official MP3-Download (at the beginning of this very year of 2011), hm, even I could swear I've heard that it was also out as a 7'' release (via a label), but I don't really know it anyhow... Damn good stuff, point and fact!!! I would really like to hear soon more of them!!! TUSCON, ARIZONE HARDCORE!!! FIST!!! Get it!!! (8 of 10 points)
