    WOWSERS!!! Hospital is insane! Stare by Hospital is a totally mental ride. This band is loud and crazy from start to end. I liked it a bit but it really wasn't my style. I am not saying this band is bad, no way. They are just too nuts for me. Hospital is a Hardcore/Speed band. They are not a double bass speed metal band you may be thinking of, but a band with intense aggression and crazy eerie music. The vocals are really cool. They are hard screaming into that Korn mellowness all the way to early Nirvanaish mumbling.

    The music is absolutely amazing. It is fierce and so new all the time. They streamline with Korn, Def Tones, and Pantera in double-time. The guitars do that hand off thing where you can tell the difference and hear the trade. The drums do a groove/metal thing with a lot of double bass. And the bass player is quick. Not too technical but he blazes.

    I am not sure or exact but I believe this band is under Screaming Giant, home to .rod Laver and many other big punk bands. This is a great album for all of you die-hard core lovers out there. I like this bands message. They speak very boldly against Satan and give all for the glory of God. I guarantee you will love this album, I liked it, and it wasn't even my style.

    8.5/10

    Dead Zine 2001Reviewed by D_ListerScreaming Giant Records is throwing around the term 'Heavy-Core' in reference to this band. To be honest it's pretty hard to accurately pigeonhole this music of this band. If I had to come up with something the best I could do would be a cross between the older band Everdown, Solid State's Luti-Kriss, and round it out with some These 5 Down in the mellower parts. As the band themselves refuse to…HM Magazine #86Reviewed by Doug Van PeltFormerly known as Rachel's Mourning, their rapcore-influenced music has improved 200%. The calm, Tool-like verses are bludgeoned with chaotic screaming choruses. Hats off to producer Scottie Hoaglan (Nailed).
