MADBALL - EMPIRE

These guys have been around for a while, and for good reason. Madball play a mix of punk and hardcore that is simple, yet invigorating. Their latest release, Empire, spans sixteen tracks of energy, anger, and inspiration. Madball may not be changing the scene, but that’s partly because they helped build it to begin with. They’ve kept to their style, so if you were ever a fan, Empire won’t disappoint. Among the memorable moments is the anthem-like “Danger Zone”, the rise up “All Or Nothing”, and the engaging title track. Roger Miret makes an appearance with “Shatterproof”, which also becomes an easy favorite. There are other fast songs, of course. “R.A.H.C.” is a quick track about hardcore, “Tough Guy” is a crazy attack of curse words, and “Glory Years” is a solid combination of elements. There may be a lack of variety with this album, but that’s because Madball have chosen to stick with their tried and true formula. If you don’t mind this, then chances are you’ll enjoy Empire for what it is: hardcore. These guys know the genre, and this is album is no exception.

TERROR - KEEPERS OF THE FAITH

There's no room for interpretation here. This isn't the sound of a hardcore band bending over backwards to appeal to a new audience. These aren't a bunch of guys trying to put in a little something for everyone. There are no games being played and there are no gimmicks being sold. This is Terror doing what they do best; you either get it or you don't.

Terror was and is a very important part of the legendary axe that carved out the groove between thrash metal and hardcore in the earliest of the 2000s. With notoriously ferocious live shows and an uncompromising barrage of releases, these guys made a name for themselves quickly. Since then, the concept of melding the two genres has become the cheap schizophrenic whore of underground music that bears little resemblance to what we'd like to remember it as. That is, until we pop this in.

Terror have earned their title as Keepers of the Faith, preserving the scene and the sound they hold so dear. These 13 tracks are an austere and angry release true to their original mission statement. Scott Vogel returns with venomous anthems of determination, brotherhood and fearless independence. When things are done this well, I find this genre to be among my favorites.

While musically, the wheel hasn't been re-invented on KotF, these tracks are far from mundane. Terror knows the tricks of the trade and employs a great deal of them to keep the listener engaged while envisioning a utterly terrified bouncer as he copes with a surreal chaos he's more worried about surviving than containing. Thrash riffs, thunderous sing-along parts, well placed breakdowns and the occasional guitar lead make up the list of usual suspects we've come to know and love. Sound quality here is top notch and the studio magic is kept at the level it needs to be in order to prevent things from feeling overproduced.

Keepers of the Faith is a snap shot of a band who has risen to the highest ranks of hardcore and is intent on keeping it real. If you know what Terror is all about, you know what to expect. If you don't know Terror, well then, maybe it's time you get acquainted. The street cred and rock solid integrity here is preserved and the faith is well kept. Things are summed up well by Vogel himself on the closing track, Terror has "nothing to prove to you, or anybody else".
