│ "Well, how about this? An Album Of The Year 2015 contender, │
│ already. 19 days into the new year. Before weÆve barely even │
│ started. │
│ I know, I know. ItÆs a ridiculous thing to say, right? But have you │
│ heard this thing? Have you even heard it? ItÆs rare to think of a │
│ UKHC record as æeagerly anticipatedÆ, but thatÆs certainly the case │
│ here. WeÆve all been gobbling up whatever morsels this vegan-edge │
│ whirlwind of hatred throws our way, be it their marvellous debut EP │
│ In Violation Of Asa from 2013 or a handful of work-in-progress │
│ tracks that have appeared on Bandcamp since then. ItÆs all been │
│ excellent, and has always left us clamouring for more. Well, now │
│ itÆs here. The Sickness Of Eden is xRepentancexæs debut LP and it is │
│ a fucking belter. │
│ │
│ Starting from a tried and tested 90Æs metallic hardcore template, │
│ pulling a heap of thrash influences in to the mix and using the │
│ preachings of Sir Karl of Earth Crisis as a jumping off point, │
│ xRepentancex have created a raging 8 track manifesto whose message │
│ is simple : mankind, who has ravaged this earth of its natural │
│ goodness, have had their day in the sun and deserve to be wiped out. │
│ ItÆs serious stuff, and theyÆre not fucking about. At only 8 tracks │
│ long, The Sickness Of Eden is streamlined and precise; thereÆs no │
│ filler, no midway dips, no breather; just crisp, crunching venemous │
│ fury. This thing has more riffs than Hanneman had Heinekens and more │
│ breakdowns than Green Flag. Every track has enough pit-bait to cause │
│ a heart attack. It is insane. │
│ │
│ ItÆs dynamic as hell too, xRepentancex filling the record with │
│ detail and shifts in mood. æChildren Of Cainæ and æDominionÆs Endæ │
│ are this band in a nutshell: balls-out aggression, dripping in │
│ contempt for humanity; Reign In Blood mixed with crushing mosh. At │
│ the other end of the scale is æPrice Of Progressionæ, which still │
│ starts with blistering, super-fast thrash, but catches its breath │
│ towards the end (following a nice twist on breakdown expectations û │
│ clean guitar? yes please) with a hauntingly melodic quiet section, │
│ backed with an appropriate, lengthy chunk of dialogue pulled from │
│ Darren AronofskyÆs Noah. ItÆs an astonishing change of pace but │
│ still hits like a truck. │
│ │
│ The Sickness Of Eden feels like the record that these musicians were │
│ born to create. Christ, it feels like the kind of record that I was │
│ born to listen to. I literally donÆt have a bad word to say about │
│ it. As far as metallic hardcore goes, it is perfect. │
│ │
│ Note: xRepentancex Official name of this kickass UKHC band │
│ --Enjoy │
