Nothing like a good ol’ fashioned elbow to the jaw. Killer stuff from this Norwegian hardcore band that brings together a healthy mix of Iron Cross, Denunzio-esque vocals, and Battle Ruins. A crucial mix of old and new ideas make these seven songs feel fresh and vibrant while still absolutely punishing. The A side leads off with a looming atmospheric soundscape, which quickly ignites into a thunderous propulsion of hardcore dominance. Fall in line, or fall to the floor. –Daryl (Foreign Legion, ourwayoflife.storenvy.com)
