Description
Pain Of Truth – “Not Through Blood” LP
The debut full-length for this Long Island, NY band. As one of the biggest hardcore bands active in the US in the twenty twenties eyebrows may be raised in expectation, both negatively and positively. The record’s hype label makes it clear “FFO: Hatebreed, Madball and Terror”, so you know from the start this is a style of beatdown/street-hardcore with an accompanying attitude that may not be for everyone. But, loose the cynicism, or you may loose-out, because what is also clear from the off is that this is a mighty powerful recording – sheer artillery fire raining down upon you; and if you are in the right (bad) mood this will hit the spot like nothing else. I mean, this is mean. Also a community affair, this album features thirteen guest appearances: Freddy Cricien of Madball, Scott Vogel of Terror, Justice Tripp of Trapped Under Ice, Vinnie Caruana of The Movielife, Jay Peta of Mindforce, Brendan Garrone of Incendiary… are just some of the contributing voices.
