Time for some NYHC to grace the pages of this zine and Moment Of Truth are back after longer hiatus with their brand new record with WTF Records.
Originally formed in the early nineties, Moment Of Truth play that streetsmart groove version of early nineties hardcore that I grew up on as a kid, like early Madball, Biohazard, Integrity, Agnostic Front. The songs have metal influences with some wicked solos thrown in like in heavy hitting Inside Job. The song called Knuckle Up is one of my favorites on this record, being faster and having a lot of streetpunk influences and being the right anthem for hot night on city concrete. Besides, wicked drum bass pedal on this one indeed. No More Pain is probably one of the most heaviest songs on the record featuring cutting riffs and brutal vocals, which fit perfectly to the songs on this record. Another hardcore punk anthem on this record that I love is Blessed, a bit longer song, but just made for moshing and singing along to live at the gigs which will happen who knows when due to this shitty virus. Soulless Life is a song that I think all of us can relate to at least once in our lives, midtempo hitting anthem of brutality and emotions. If I spoke earlier about some of my highlights on this record, In Remembrance is THE song which hit me the most of all, story about loss and trying to endure life afterwards. Respect Thy Neighbour and Sick People are two songs definitely worth listening. So, write a line or two to the guys if you dig their music, and also go get this one, hardcore one on one.
