Based
upon the band name, the font used and a number of other factors, yeah I kind of
knew going into this it would be some form of hardcore. I tend not to pay attention to the Bandcamp
tags as much, and while this could have been harsh noise or the such I just
knew that it was going to be hardcore and it in no way disappointed.
What
begins in a fast and in your face manner can sound like Sick Of It All, but the
crunchy guitar chords and prominent bass lines throughout remind me more later
on of Reach the Sky and/or Bane, which are a funny pairing because the two
seemed to tour together a lot. In fact,
the first time I interviewed Reach the Sky back in the earlier days they were
playing a show with Bane.
As
if the hardcore style of punk is not enough for you, then you also can get back
to a time when lyrics actually meant something. These aren’t just lines strung together to
form what look like cute little songs but rather they have meaning and for the
first time since maybe Shai Hulud got back together for the second or third
time I have found lyrics worth quoting from a hardcore band.
A
line as simple as “We are not our weakest moments” can really weigh deeply on
you. I’m not sure whether posicore is
still a thing or not (Where are Good Clean Fun when you need them most?) but if
it is, Die Faster should be in that category as well despite their name
indicating the opposite effect. That being said, I also really do like this
band name as we are all dying it’s just that some of us due to the choices we
make are getting there faster than others.
