Overcome
The Life of Death
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
Okay, these guys lay down some mean hardcore. Even when the instruments step slightly out of time with each other, vocalist Jason Stinson holds it together with convincing screams. While production lacks some thickness at times, the songwriting and cool riffs make up for it. If you dig hardcore punk, you'll be into this. If you dug When Beauty Dies, then by all means, you'll want these five songs. To order The Life of Death, send $7 (postage paid) to: Facedown Records, 415 East 6th Ave, Escondido CA 92025
