Tracklist:

Great hardcore in the vein of Bane, Turning Point and Ensign.

Split with Fall From Grace.
Polyglot are a force to be reckoned with. Brutal riffs and in yor face vocals that never let up. They started a whole hardcore scene in their home state of Maine. That's something hardly and band can claim. Fall From Grace will keep you moving with their introspective lyrics, layered vocals and light-ening fast double bass. This record has been dubbed 'one of the best split 7"s in hardcore'.

This cd has been described as an exceptional, sincere hardcore album worth checking out. 'Nothing in Return' will carry you to the next level of hardcore. If you are not singing theses lyrics at the next show you will be the only one. Don't miss out on the floor punching mayhem!

Pounding, intense and out of control hardcore blending speed, crunch and emotion. These guys hace conquered the country twice over and topped those so called 'insane'bands with their live show. Listen and learn about the east coast's best kept secret. This record is simply amazing!

Grimlock has put together a full length that will scare you it's so brutal! This release is pure violence with insane mosh parts and brutal lyrics that are not for the weak! 'Songs of Self' has 7 new songs, plus it includes the now out of print Thirst for Immortality 7".

Fragment has destroyed all the myths and rumors with this new masterpiece! Metal fury meets hardcore angst. Precision, attack and destruction are abound on this release. The recording, songs and overall feel of this new cd will blow you away. 'Angels Never Came' is simply crushing!

Grinding, hammering hardcore from the depths of Connecticut. Die My Will's crazy-punishing live show is an experience you won't easily forget and this cd makes you feel like you are there. The music is devastatingly heavy-pure chaos! It'll tear your head off!!!

Trembling coursed through my body as I opened the package from Die My Will. Shakily I put the cd in my player awaiting the insanity that was to ensue. I wasn't disappointed in the least, in fact I was surprised at how good this is. With one of the best grind/noise bands to come out in a while in my cd player, I was surely in seventh heaven. Die My Will boasts some of the sickest vocals I've heard, with some of the fastest guitar riffs I've ever heard. This is pure grind at its best. Fans of Pig Destroyer and Enemy Soil will fall in love with Die My Will. This is faster than Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse, but without the ridiculously stupid lyrics. But alas it had to end eventually so after the seven song EP had finished playing, I hit repeat. I suggest you do the same thing. - Smother E-Zine
