Incendiary are hailing from New York upstate area and this is their brand new full length release. This one contains ten songs. Incendiary play what we use to call back in the nineties new school hardcore, being a mixture of old school hardcore punk with lots of metallic influences, groove and moshing parts, but just being good old NYHC style with some punk roots and fast parts in there as well. Vocals are shouted, but not screamed, fitting just perfectly to the music and angry, wicked hardcore songs, with couple of hooks and tough sounding melodies thrown in behind all the brutality, like in awesome ‘Jesus Bones’. Besides mentioned song, my personal favorites are ‘Rats In The Cellar’, ‘Lie of Liberty’ and the title song. There are also couple of sing along gang backing vocals and song themes deal with survival, healing wounds, friendship which failed, personal thoughts, anger, inner self and more. I think you as a listener can find yourself in these songs and music, being a hardcore kid for more than thirty years now. I really enjoyed this album, so if you like your hardcore tough, metallic, street smart and wise, go grab this one, you will not regret it!
