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.
