Two of the world's most underrated hardcore bands team up for fourteen tracks of no-frills and no-fuss hardcore. First up is Crowd Deterrent from Youngstown, Ohio. The band has been going strong for ten years now and during their tenure the band has relentlessly delivered straight-up hardcore that draws from the heyday of the New York scene - early Madball, Agnostic Front, and Warzone. They take that influence and give it a modern feel with an even harder edge
harder than Madball, yes. On the flip side of things we have Creepout from Tokyo, Japan. While their counterparts channel NYHC, Creepout draw influence from the likes of Cleveland legends Integrity, Ringworm, and Face Value. This is metallic hardcore at its best and it is about time that the rest of the world takes notice. The only downside to this release is the recording quality isn't up to normal standards that I hold. But when you consider this is a 100% DIY effort funded by Crowd Deterrent, you've got to admire the output.
