Title: Am-rep inspired hardcore from these trailblazers..
Product review: Coalesce pound out heads-down, brutal metal-influenced hardcore on this too-short EP. This release is a little more direct than the "Give Them Rope" Cd, while still showing traces of the experimental bent that would flower on the "Functioning on Impatience" EP. "Simulcast" is a stand-out, a relentless mid-tempo onslaught with pounding drumming, noisy guitars and intense vocals. The version of this release on Second Nature records also includes "A Safe Place" and "Blend as Well" from the Edison Recordings 7". The latter song is a particularly nasty piece of AmRep-inspired metal-core. Well worth checking out.
