The Warriors released their new full length record with Pure Noise Records and I listened to review it for this zine. What we get on this record are twelve songs of dirty sounding, gritty hardcore with lots of slower, chugging parts, atmospheric, almost apocalyptic sounding. I love the clever use of electronics in The Painful Truth making it sound gloomy and brutal at the same time. The riffs are highly metalized but there are some punkier old school faster parts for example in one of my favorites Iron Mind. The lyrics are deep, almost poetic, but personal, like dealing with your inner self, aggressive and almost wicked, but spiritual at the same time. There are couple of atmospheric sampled instrumentals that serve as an interlude in the whole story, like Death Dancer. The song for which a video was made Death Ritual is also one of my favorites on this record, having great melody underneath the brutality. In all, this is great sounding atmospheric hardcore record.

8/10
