Vengeance
Fools Follows Rules
Six Feet Under
Digital – September 19, 2015; Vinyl - October 9, 2015
Vengeance consists of members of Floorpunch, Underdog, Blacklisted,
Reign Supreme and others. They took nine tracks into the study and recorded
with legendary NYHC producer, Don Fury. Hard and heavy, Fans of Manipulate,
Terror, and Backtrack should pay close attention.
Killer riffs and heavy stomps fill Vengeance’s resume.
Nothing new in the genre, but done with sincere venom and ferocity. Marc Zeveny’s
bass (Floorpunch, Endeavor, Anger Regiment) rattles with the resurrected sound
of the Breakdown demo. Fury gave the entire spectrum a thick, full sound. Songs
range from ten seconds, a minute, to three minutes. Vengeance fill time with
spastic fits that move into breakdowns. Pepito (Blacklisted, Reign Supreme)
spews pissed growls of warnings and hate drenched venting.
Vengeance strip it down to doing right. It’s all about execution.
This pissed off hardcore, honed and unfettered. Typical song titles, “Pushed
Too Many Times”, “Your Pride”, One Sided Friendship”, and “Brotherhood” show
not a regression but a statement of getting back to the roots. After some of
these band members’ resumes, some post-hardcore, expansive sounds, I am
positive these dudes wanted to just put out ill fucking hardcore. Mission accomplished.
