STRAIGHT TO YOUR FACE – The Struggle

Post image for STRAIGHT TO YOUR FACE – The Struggle

From Denmark comes STRAIGHT TO YOUR FACE, with their third album ‘The Struggle’, on DemonsRunAmok. This band plays true aggressive hardcore/metalcore in the vein of bands like Merauder, Ryker’s, Backfire or Terror! From the first song ‘The Sruggle’ to the last song ‘Salvation’ the album is full of power and aggression. Production is done by Jacob Bredahl (Last Mile, Hatesphere, Barcode) and is perfectly for this kind of music, real hard, fat and heavy. Those who are looking for a metalcore album with simple yet well elaborated songs can safely fork out the cash for this item and anyone who already owns one or more albums by bands like Terror, Madball or Ryker’s (where the fuck are they nowadays?) will not be disappointed either.
