Nostromo - Eccelex - CD (2002)

Labels: Overcome
Review by: Alex Deller

Metal kids playing hardcore, or hardcore kids playing metal? That, my friends, is the eternal question”¦

Chug-chug-twiddle-twiddle. Coalesce meets Meshuggah, bucks, contorts and adds some Slayer parts because its almost impolite not to these days. Geometric guitar lines and drums that never seem to stop. Fucking yell “˜til the veins in your head burst and your eyes fill with blood. Chug chug chug for a while to keep the shirtless kids happy so they can try some roundhouses and knock nipples in the pit. That’s the lowdown. Sounds full, competent and technically more than proficient. Doesn’t knock my head off, but doesn’t make me wince like tender flesh trapped in a trouser fly.
