(review) Full Circle – ‘Those Who Fold EP’

Full Circle are hailing from Washington DC hardcore scene. This EP contains intro plus four songs. Music is hardcore but not so much fast one, rather metallic nineties influenced hardcore which reminds me a bit of Biohazard, Sick Of It All and similar bands. Vocals are cool, not screaming but more shouted and you can understand what is being sung about with or without lyric sheet. The lyrics deal with keeping it true, the scene, false friendships, themes that are omnipresent in hardcore. The music is energetic enough to keep your hardcore heart beating but there are some slower moshing parts which I somehow dislike on this record and the guitar could be louder in the mix and more aggressive sounding, but who am I to judge? This is only my personal taste. But, this is good hardcore for listening and full album would be nice once the guys release it. My personal favorites are title track and ‘Beneath It All’. Good little EP.
