IN THE FACE OF WAR | "WE MAKE OUR OWN LUCK"
CD | Pee Records
Reviewed: June 9th, 2008
These guys from Indiana play fast forward, no compromise hard core a la Blacklisted or Ruiner. I like it, I don´t love it, but I like it. What's fun to hear is that ITFOW brings in some metal-sounding guitar parts. I guess that's a thing that makes the band stand out a little bit from what I usually hear in this kind of music. It's a fun thing and it fits the band's songs perfect. Apart from that I find the whole record a bit average. Don't get me wrong, it's a good record, but I just can't find that "little extra something" that I'm looking for in hard core.
My favorite track off of "We Make Our Own Luck" is a song called "Suicide". It's the shortest song of the album and by far the best one. If the band would do more raw, short tunes like that one, I'd like 'em better. Anyway, it's an ok hard core record.
Notes:
This is a re-issue, including two previously unreleased demo-tracks.
