Madball / Wisdom in Chains
Family Biz
FastBreak!
September 25th
Two of the hardest working bands in hardcore are releasing a
tantalizing split 7” just to let you know they are still coming hard. Honest.
Sincere. Commited. Consistent. Madball and Wisdom in Chains are holding it down
with a track each until Madball’s full length comes out on 2018.
Madball’s side comes packed with their revered energy. The
track, For the Cause is also the name of their impending full length. This
track continues with the firestorm they have been unleashing. The Mitts era is
a gallery of classics; Legacy, Empire, Infiltrate
the System, the three eps; and most recently Hardcore Lives. This feels right off of any recent. Only news I can
find is that the full length will be on Nuclear Blast, no word on release date
or producer. The tough, crisp track sounds like the prior ones – hopefully meaning
Erik Rutan is behind the boards or even Zeuss. “For the Cause”, is vicious.
Slamming track.
The flipside is blessed by the PAHC champs, Wisdom in
Chains. As a bonus, Mad Joe shares the mic with Freddy Madball on “Someday”.
Mad Joe’s gift to the hardcore community has always been raw, personal lyrics.
We get emotionally open lyrics, contemplating what a man’s legacy will be, with
solid melodic guitar lines over rough, beastly rhythms. WIC’s low chug is savage
and will incite any crowd to point, swing, dive and stomp. It’s a fast, forward
focused 4/4 beat with ripe time changes for cathartic pauses and two-steps.
