Savage Fast & Apocalyptic Hardcore from the Netherlands. Really heavy & raging with 2 or even 3 vocals styles (the dominate one being screamy mid-range and another lower and the other shouted). Lyrics deal with war & it’s aftermath along with the plague of religion. Comparable to Left for Dead mixed Skitsystem and Artimus Pyle. Their name is German for “(The) Dance (of) Death”.

SIDE A
((((1)))) Slow, winding intro blasting into full on hardcore crust attack with mostly buried vocals and several breaks
((((((((2))))))) (FCC “Fucking” sung once) Blazing, d-beat but with a strong melodic guitar parts & occasional clear vocal sections. Lots of nice pick slide and dead stop. Sounds like it would kill live.

SIDE B
(((((1))))) Straight up d-beatin’ crust with all the necessary elements. A little more melodic vocals and with lots of neat changes.
((((((2)))))) (FCC “fucking” sung once) Brutal and raw crust with some raw throat vocals & some doomy breakdowns.
(((((3)))) Blasting 1-2! 1-2! D-beat assault with departe “clawing away at what’s left of life” vocals.
