A Hell Romance is my first exposure to French metal/hardcore hybrid Primal Age. Prior to this release they've knocked out a few other recordings, garnering a name for themselves in Europe and shows with plenty of big names. On this twelve-song full-length they unleash a quite powerful and punishing metalcore mixture in the style of xMaroonx, Turmoil, Hatebreed, and even Slayer. It's hardcore at its core but its got that added flair of aggressive thrash-derivative heavy metal. If these guys toured the states I could see them being pretty damn popular. Overall, a good performance is set forth.
