Unforgiven “Last of the Few” CD

Someone posted a comment here and recommended Connecticut's Unforgiven to me some time ago, and I've been eagerly waiting for this shit to come out ever since. I don't think I've ever made a note to keep checking back on a band's MySpace page before to see when a release was finally out, but I did for "Last of the Few", which finally hit the streets a couple months ago thanks to Eightfold Path Records, it just took me until this weekend to realize it! I'm talking six tracks of absolutely perfect metallic hardcore in just 13 minutes. The band cites their influences as New York, Cleveland, and Connecticut hardcore, and that about says it, 'cause there's plenty of that chugging 90's style of NYHC in there alongside some driving midpaced Clevo rhythms and heavier tinges of a little straight-up old school styled hardcore—plus some unexpected little melodic flourishes to color things up just a bit and add some extra (tactful) variety. It's just hard, in your face, and pissed off, just how I like it... and the fact that they toss in some little Burn sounding riffs and shit, I mean, that's just bonus awesomeness as far as I'm concerned. Plus, they scored a great recording, so... there's not a damn thing missing. I'm all over this shit. Highly recommended, and I can't fucking wait to hear more from these cats...

Unforgiven "It's All Been Wasted"

When I bought the EP on Download Punk over the weekend the first song (posted above) was missing for some strange reason, but thankfully I noticed that the band had it posted on their MySpace page, so it all worked out. I just can't say enough good things about this material. I wish more bands could properly capture this style of hardcore these days...
