Probation are from Holland and they have a new record with WTF Records. This is an interesting record in all of the songs it contains. Why? Because the music of Probation is basically an amalgamation of all members`music tastes and influences. You get brutal and harsh hardcore punk in basic, mixed with a lot of metal and sludge punk influences. I can also here some d-beat in Unveiling The Truth for example. There are enough hardcore fast parts to fill you up with energy, but also some groove metal modern mosh parts here and there, with slowed down dirty and gritty sludge swampy parts in some song sructures. The vocals are beautiful, ranging from almost death metal like growling, angry shouting in crusty style and screaming at the top of the lungs. This is heavy hitter and I love every single of this record. Recommended songs: Finished And Done, Blood Ditch, Can˙t Stand You.
