Protestant - The Hate, The Hollow - CD (2008)

Labels: Halo Of Flies – Rimbaud Records – Rust And Machine
Review by: Kunal Nandi

Protestant do the whole d-beat hardcore thing in a particularly humourless and unremitting way, but what really drags them out of the depths of mediocrity are those great crunchy, catchy riffs and neat time changes. It doesn’t exactly pluck many surprises out the hat, but it is a well-crafted, speedy and angry piece of work, plus you do get some epic instrumental sections that mix some Envy in amongst the Tragedy.
