This is a bit older release that has been out for couple of months now, but no matter. Passionplay are from Providence, and this is their brand new release containing 8 songs. The music of passionplay is basically hardcore punk with screamo and even crust/powerviolence influences in the song structures. The music is fast and energetic with screamed vocals, fast drumming and made for playing live and enjoying it at hardcore show. The lyrics are personal, some of them are rather short but hit you in the eye, I like the longer ones, which in combination with well and smartly written music become nice anthems for your hardcore heart to relate to in battling personal demons, loss, despair, anger, having hope, living life the best you can. My personal favorites on this record are: Haunting This Empty Page, Abaddon and My Odyssey.

Go get this one, nice hardcore indeed!
