Coliseum - House with a Curse (2010)

Punk/Hardcore from Coliseum - this is the

real deal for me. I'm sick of hearing a band

described as hardcore, playing them and

hearing something that belongs more to a

metal/screamo/whatever "core" tag.

I will fight to my last breath the right for

anyone to listen or play whatever the fuck

they want but this does not mean I have to

like it!

Bands like Norma Jean (who I like) or Jobs

for a Cowboy (who I don't) seem to blend into

a generic deep growling, brutal blast-beat of

sameness. Hey, I really like some of it but it

is not punk/hardcore as far as I am concerned.

..... but that is only my opinion. Please do not

write me an essay of how wrong I am ...... in fact

please do ....... a 2 way street yeah?

Anyway, Coliseum have a fabulous album here,

sharp stabs of power and disgust, interesting riffs

interplay with the powerful songs, vocals are still

aggressive but what I call shouting rather than

growling, real emotion coming through that does

not seem to be going through the motions.

The sermon is over -Listen.
