Eye for All “s/t” 7”

Another winner from Finland is the debut 7" from Eye for All, which is also the debut release from The Hood Took Us Under Records. Four tracks/10 minutes of that in your face metallic hardcore you'd expect is what's in store, complete with a little old school flavor and some sweet bass breaks amidst the chunky rhythms that tend to drive this style of hardcore—not to mention some unexpected lead breaks that have a Biohazard-esque kind of sound happening. The vocals are also higher-pitched and carry more of a bitter sneer than the burly gruffness that so many European hardcore bands favor, so there are definitely little bits and pieces here that keep the band from sounding like a carbon copy of any of the wealth of other acts making up the Finnish scene right now. As usual there's not much more to say about 10 minutes of straightforward, 90's-styled hardcore, but I love this stuff and am always psyched to hear it done right, so... it's as simple as that.
