Withstand FTHC
The War Within
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
This is hardcore like I enjoy lots of heavy grooves, intense vocals, chant bgv's, and dynamics that keep you from getting bored. The production sonics are slightly flat, reminding me of the first Crucified record on Narrowpath / Pure Metal. This keeps the disc from rising above the pack, but I'd still call it essential for your diet and fun to eat. Available from Take Hold Records & Slacker 66
