Album Review
Ragnar of Ravensfjord
Reviewed 2007-01-15
Rather good screamy hardcore-ish heavy rock. Not purely ‘screamo’ or hardcore or metal just a mix of all of those things and doing it well. The songs are all long enough to be memorable but short enough not to get excessive. Play with Black Cross, Paint It Black and early Fugazi.

((((1)))) (FCCs “fucking” sung twice, “shit” sung once) Long-ish strummy intro, nice loud n’ rockin’.
(((((2))))) Awesome mix of charging hardcore energy.
((((3)))) (FCC “fucking” sung once) Aggressive, really basic riffs but really good guitar work overall.
((((4)))) (FCC “fuckin” sung once) Uppity, mid-paced tempo with lots of bursts of loud vocals and charging riffs.
((((5)))) Very direct and rippin’ riffs & vocals. Lots of scathing political lyrics whilst being sounding very passionate about what they’re singing about.
(((((6))))) Explosive, fast and seriously kick ass! Great mix of all the elements (bass, guitar, etc), too.
(((((7))))) Perfect Fugazi-ish rocker, lots of spirit & fury.
((((8)))) Feedback and a destructive blast of hardcore and heavy rawk.
((((9)))) (FCCs “fucking disease” sung twice) Both straight-forward and varied. Lyrics seem to attack Hollywood and/or the music industry.
((((10)))) (FCCs “fucking blind” sung once) Not too different from where they’re already been before but…damn! This is heavy n’ just killer! The end gots in this surprisingly Neurosis-like part that will keep your attention.
(((11))) More of the slow & heavy Neurosis/Cult of Luna sounding. Pretty cool but derivative as hell.
