Heaven's Metal #47May/June 1994
Here's four bands playing some extreme aggression with total abandon. The tune "Nation of Hate" by Crawlspace is a killer tune. I hate to use this compliment, because I know that saying, "so and so reminds me of The Crucified" is the ultimate compliment of this genre; but, for Crawlspace, this is true. This band truly kills, and these other three bands aren't bad themselves. Production suffers quite a bit on this tape, though (making it authentic hardcore in some people's books), so be fore-warned.
