It is fascinating how Wisdom In Chains grew from the international project band that couple of friends founded in 2001. to have fun, to a full fledge hardcore machine seventeen years later and one of the most beloved and respected bands in the today´s scene. This is their new album that came out via Demons Run Amok and I listened to the record and reviewed it for this zine.

The album contains 13 songs of pure blooded hardcore. What I love about this band is that they stayed true to their roots. Although there are some metallic influences in some songs like for example Slow Drown, they kept that original melody and anthemic choruses just made for sing along because of which I love this band so much. There are lot of punk rooted songs like  Better Than I Was and The Boy And The Cave. The lyrics of Wisdom In Chains tell the story for themselves. They are personal but done with so much passion and I can totally relate to most of the songs and that is indeed the meaning of hardcore music. One of my personal favorites that made my heart full and made me jumping and pogo is Palisade Cliffs and I listened to it again and again. Other songs that I love really much are Turn My Back and Someday. This is definitely one of the best hardcore records that came out this year!
