Heavy-duty hardcore.
Killing The Dream - Fractures
Killing The Dream keep raising the bar, somehow surpassing 2005's In Place Apart with the impeccable Fractures. So many compositions rooted in pummeling, aggressive hardcore also feature excellent melodies drenched in unbelievably genuine passion, emotion and what seems like pain?musically, lyrically and vocally. While some tracks are more straight-up hardcore ("Hang The Jury," "You're All Welcome"), many others are more multi-faceted, such as the slightly melancholy "Resolution," whose denouement is monumental, highlighted by an emotionally evocative guitar lead and those ubiquitously shouted impassioned vocals ("My heart is dry/This is my last breath/This used to be everything!/I gave everything!"). It also must be said Fractures has a wonderful, exceedingly cathartic "fuck" moment, with "Thirty Four Seconds" and it's furiously articulated, "I've never fuckin' said it before/I've never fuckin' meant it more/Fuck you!/Fuck all of you!"
