ADVERSE96 are hardcore punk band from Liege/Brussels – Belgium. They already released two EPs but this is their first full length album. This record contains ten songs. The music of ADVERSE96 can be described as melodic hardcore punk with lots of post hardcore influences thrown in the music structures, they reminded me a lot of Croatian band called Dead Dog Summer with their catchy melodies, emotional vocals and personal lyrics to which I think most of us can relate to when reading them while listening to the record. Music is straightforward punk rock with tempo changes, energetic singing by the singer whose a bit rough yet melodic voice fits perfectly to the songs from this album. My personal favorites on this album are ‘Folded Paper’, ‘DeadAngles’, ‘December’ to name just a few, but whole album as a whole is one superb piece of work. So, if you like melodic hardcore in a way which was played in early 2000s, with lots of emotion and melody, but also energy, check out this phenomenal record.
