The long awaited second output by these New York Long Island band is here! The album contains ten songs of angry, rage driven but also emotional hardcore. The opening song “Still Burning” reminded me a little of Snapcase in their best days and then the music turns out into more chaotic metallic sound of Earth Crisis with some dark underlayers and groovy heavy laden hooks. This record goes to the dimensions of hardcore that we used to call new school in the 90-ies, meaning angry groove, heavy hardcore with metal influences, cutting guitars, screaming vocals and darker atmosphere. In case of Incendiary, the lyrics are pretty good and they cover the wide range of themes, from economic inequality to personal relationship crisis, freedom and many other great stuff. The production is excellent and I really love this record. It is a perfect weapon to vent out your anger and remember that there are people who feel the same as you and who try to cope and give their best to survive in the harsh reality of this fucked up world. The album is nothing new or special but it is a great angry return to more metalic currents of hardcore, without losing the primal hardcore edge. Top songs:”Awakening”, “The Product Is You”, “Hard Truths Cut Both Ways”.
